Re: Consignment Sales

My company does a fair amount of this ...

1. Setup a warehouse in BPCS, in which the inventory under their management
is stored. Note that inventory in this warehouse should be reconciled on a
regular (monthly?) basis. You may want it to be in it's own facility; I am
not sure.

2. Setup a customer for the shipping warehouse, and a ship-to for the
receiving warehouse.

3. Use BPCS re-supply orders (type 9) - no sales or A/R impact - to ship
product from the primary warehouse to the distributor warehouse. This will
let you generate pick slips and bill-of-ladings, and track in-transit goods.
When received at the other end, use INV500 to receive the resupply order -
transaction type H (?).

4. The customers that pull from this distributor warehouse should be changed
to have it being their default warehouse. When the distributor pulls from
the warehouse, use a normal customer order, with the shipping warehouse
being the distributor warehouse.

Good luck.
