Consignment stock

bubble_blower

has anyone used navision to control vendor consignment stock?

I have a situation where a vendor keeps stock on my premises and he replenishes up to a max on a weekly basis. I consume as required.
I then receive an invoice monthly.

I want to know how much of his stock are on my premises(nil value).
I need to bring stock in prior to backflushing my production orders.

Has anyone a simple answer?

Thanks :-k

you can post receipts on each replenishment of your consignment stock - afterwards you will do partial invoicing of that purchase order, depending on the monthly consumption. On the next replenishment date you will open a new order and repeat the procedure. There it is - your consignment location within Navision.

There is a simple solution: a new field on Purchase Order: Quantity on Site. Just use this field when material has arrived and receive the PO only if you use materials. Create a report on this field to show "present but unreceived" inventory - simple wizard report, with grouping for Purchase Line No. field and summing for Quantity on Site, no coding required.
