Acknowledge Consumption

Explanation

Use this activity to acknowledge consumption of consignment stock inventory. Once acknowledged all consumed parts can be invoiced. This activity is intended for a B2B user acting as B2B supplier.

Note: If the Notify Supplier of Consignment Consumption option is selected on the Company/Supply Chain Information/Procurement tab, it indicates that the supplier notification (Acknowledgement) is a mandatory step. That is, when a consignment stock is being consumed, the consumed stock will not appear for invoice matching until the supplier has acknowledged the consumption.

Prerequisites

• This activity is applicable in IFS Aurena B2B.
• In the Supplier page, the B2B option must be selected for the appropriate supplier.
• Only consignment stock connected to the user’s default supplier, set up in B2B User – Supplier page, are presented.
• At least one part must have been consumed from consignment stock inventory, i.e., moved out from the consignment stock location.
• The line must be in Entered status.

System Effects

When the supplier acknowledges the new consumption, they are considered as notified. The line status is changed from Entered to SupplierNotified.
