Consignment Inventory

["Morrison, Doug" <dmorrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are running BPCS 4.05CD and would like to know how others are handling
consignment inventory within BPCS.  We currently have a consignment
warehouse setup within each facility.  When we receive the material in we
assign a lot number to it and store it in the consignment warehouse.  When
we use the material we move it from the consignment warehouse to the wip
warehouse and pay the vendor.  The problem is with shop order allocation and
backflushing.  When the shop order is released against the wip warehouse the
material is still in the consignment warehouse so the shop order does not
allocate the material.  When the end item is shipped the material is in the
wip warehouse but since it was not allocated it does not get backflushed. 

Thanks
