RE: Consignment.

Bill, 

We do this all the time, both for product we stock and direct ships to
customers.  It is the basis for our business.  Some vendors (like JDE)
supposedly have modules that will create an A/P entry due to the supplier
(owner of the product) each time you sell the product.  We originally wanted
that functionality, but don't conduct our business that way now.  We have
some suppliers that we pay on terms XX days after the sale, and others that
we pay when we collect the A/R from the customer on the sale of the product.
We've written custom modules to handle all this A/P remittance on
consignment sales.  We've also modified JBA to cost the items at a percent
of the sell price since the sell price varies and out "cost" is a discount
off the sell price.  We give all our suppliers access to "their" inventory
via our web site using custom reports we've written (Sales by item or
customer, Current Stock Status, Historical Stock Status (balances as of any
date), Stock Movements, Accounts Receivable (as of any date with links to
diary text).

Has anyone in the JBA user group used System/21 for goods on consignment? 
 What I mean is, if I stocked a vendors goods in my warehouse on 
consignment (meaning the vendor still owns the goods, but its in my 
possession).  If so how is this done?
