The Consignment Process

You use the Work With Consignment program (P75I3901) as part of the process to track the movement of goods to and from your location when the goods are sent to a subcontractor for processing. The program enables you to track the goods by using a purchase order or a work order.

The system changes the status of the consignment at various stages of the process. The statuses that the system assigns must exist in the UDC table 40/AT (Activity/Type Code).

This table describes consignment statuses:
