How to do consignment in Navision 4???

rosine

I want to know how in Nav4, it is possible to do consignment.

Here is the scenario:
Company ABC sell to his customers kits of items which are distributed in a specialised box. That assembled kit is sold at a predetermined price and is composed by different items ( A1, A2...).

A consignment consists to an agreement between Company ABC and the customer where company ABC installs at the client site a wokplace of customised cabinets. That workplace consists of products identificationwith stickes and its own locolisations.
The customer must buys only at company ABC.

The consignment which corresponds to those cabinets is not invoiced to the customer but the material is deducted from the company ABC inventory and not from its assets because it still belong to company ABC.

The goal here is to find a way to keep track of customers who have a consignment.
Thanks

There is a bool field 5409 "Inventory Value Zero" in the item table ( has to be designed into the item card). All items with this mark are valued at zero in the item ledger- /value entries and do not influence the average unit cost of the item when posted.

If the goods are the property of ABC Company, you should only use transfer to a "Customer inventory". The goods are still the property of ABC, but it's not located in the company itself but in the customer location.

We have already made this customization for some of our customers ...

Main idea is to work with a specific location per Customer. When you consign, you simply transfer items to this specific location. When you "deconsigns" (invoice), make an automatic and transparent shipment from the specific location...

As you see, this requires some customizations ... but it works fine !
If you need some extra explanation, just ask !!

There's no customization needed.

Consignments are basically your items stored in another "warehouse". In this case, it's the customer's site.

When the item is sold, just enter a sales invoice against inventory in that location. Then you're done!
