A consignment stock at a customer is a warehouse located at a customer site
but containing goods that belong to our company. That is to say that the ownership
transfer does not take place until the customer uses the goods and reports a
consumption.
To define a consignment stock management for deliveries
to a customer, you must define the combination of customer, delivery address,
site, and sales part. After this all deliveries to the customer will be treated
as consignment stock. Invoicing will not be possible until the customer reports
a consumption of the goods. The use of customer consignment stock can be manually
overridden on the customer order line by using an option in customer order line.
When defining the customer consignment stock management, you must also enter
an order point for a refill order. If the consignment stock quantity on hand
falls below the order point, a refill order can be automatically created. By
using the option Edit/Refill for B2B User Enabled, you allow the customer
to update order point, order quantity and also allow the customer to initiate
refill order, in the B2B solution.
A minimum and maximum quantity allocated for the customer consignment stock record can be defined in Min Qty and Max Qty fields respectively. These values can be used for information purposes only.
Optionally, you can enter a consumption reference and a date when reporting quantity consumed either manually or automatically.
