Re: BPCS 4.05 CD Vendor Managed Inven

We have a similar situation - but inventory is in our facility in a
tightly-managed area
We set up a separate whse under the same fac/co as our manufacturing plant
The whse is non-allocatable, non-nettable  (mrp ignores)
We created a transaction which has no gl impact, and use it to put on-hand
/ take out inventory
Auditors have been explained / understand the situation
If I remember correctly, we added a field to the whse master to id if a
whse was consignment / vendor owned / etc.
Then several cost / gl reports were modified to ignore warehouses falling
into certain categories
The negative transactions to that whse are summarized at the end of the
day, and a po is
   placed/received to get inventory on-hand in our 'real'  (mfg) whse

Subject:    BPCS 4.05 CD Vendor Managed Inven



Good morning.

We will probably have to figure a way to deal with
"Vendor Managed Inventory" ( correct term? )
  The vendor owns the inventory
  The inventory is still in their warehouse
  We want visibility to it
  We do NOT want to consider it "on hand" for MRP
  We do NOT want to count it or value it for G/L

We are thinking about a separate warehouse
in a separate facility in a separate company.....

Any suggestions ??

Peace,
Jim Barry
