Receiving Consigned Inventory
When you create item receipts for purchase or transfer orders, you can assign a consigned inventory status to items enabled for it. You can continue to use regular inventory statuses for non-consigned items. Items with both consigned and non-consigned quantities on the same receipt must be assigned the appropriate statuses. For instructions, see Receiving Orders or Receiving Transfer Orders.
In item receipt lines, you can't change inventory statuses to assign non-consigned statuses to consigned quantities, and vice versa. For more information about consigned inventory statuses, see Creating Consigned Inventory Statuses.
The Consigned box in item receipt lines follow the settings on the associated orders. You can fully or partially receive consigned items. For transfer orders, you can't receive more than the fulfilled quantity on any date. Note that an item fulfillment for one or more transfer orders may be received using multiple item receipts. In this case, the total consigned or non-consigned quantity across all associated item receipts must not exceed its corresponding fulfilled quantity. See Limitations on Purchasing and Receiving Consigned Items.
When you receive customer returns, the sold items are no longer treated as consigned, since ownership has already been transferred from the vendor. Whether you choose to restock them or do a write-off, you can't reassign consigned inventory statuses to these items on a receipt. For instructions, see Receiving a Customer Return.
