Posting Goods Receipts for Consignment Material 

Goods receipts to your consignment stores can either:

  • refer to a purchase order or
  • be made by the vendor directly without a purchase order

The posting procedure differs slightly.

  • Unrestricted-use stock
  • Quality inspection stock
  • Blocked stock

Updating Consignment Stock

After a goods receipt for consignment material has been posted, the consignment stock of the material increases. The consignment stock is available for MRP.

However, the material's valuated stock does not increase since the consignment stock still belongs to the vendor.
