Disabling Consigned Inventory Management
You can disable the Consigned Inventory Management feature if you don't have transactions with vendor consigned items or quantities. If you have these transactions, you can do one of the following depending on your business requirements:
Regardless of whether you delete or update transactions, you must complete all of those from both open and closed accounting periods.
-
Delete these transactions, whether closed or in progress.
-
Remove vendor consigned items from these existing transactions.
-
Assign the default Consigned - Good status to all vendor consigned items on these existing transactions.
After you disable the feature, transactions with items in this default consigned status are transferred automatically to the default Good inventory status.
To update your Consigned Inventory Management feature setting, see Enabling Consigned Inventory Management.
Deleting Consigned Inventory Statuses
You can't delete the default Consigned - Good status provided within Consigned Inventory Management. For statuses that you create, you can delete those that are not assigned to items in open transactions.
To delete consigned inventory statuses:
-
Go to Lists > Supply Chain > Inventory Status > New.
-
Next to your Consigned - status, click Edit.
-
On the Inventory Status page, click Actions, and then select Delete.
-
If an error message appears about being unable to delete the status, do the following:
-
Look for dependent transactions with items that use the status.
-
Change the status of the items or delete all dependent transactions.
-
Repeat Step 3.
-
Disabling Consigned Inventory from Items
On item records, you can clear the Allow Vendor Consignment box to indicate that you don't want to track and process consigned quantities for these items. When you add these items to new transactions, you can no longer assign them any consigned inventory statuses.
For instructions on updating items, see Setting Up Consigned Inventory per Item.
