Administering Siebel Medical Handheld for Consignment Inventory Management

This section outlines an example process performed by a Siebel Administrator and end users. Your company may follow a different process according to its business requirements.

A medical device company would like to track a product for consignment inventory management. The Administrator has already defined the product in the system so would just need to define how this product is going to be managed for consignment inventory. He uses the capture hierarchy command to update the product hierarchy so that sales representatives are able to view hierarchical results when analyzing inventory using the handheld. He then recreates the product hierarchy for each inventory location where these products are being kept and defines consignment levels at that inventory location. For some products, he is required to record inventory that was sent to an inventory location or to a sales representative. He then assigns cycle counts to sales representatives.
