Redwood: Review Consigned Inventory in Supplier Portal Using a Redwood Page

Oracle Supplier Portal is a browser-based, self-service solution that provides your suppliers with a secure, integrated work area that gives them visibility into their orders, receipts, contracts, and other multiple tasks or reports relevant to them. Now you have the ability to provide your suppliers with the ability to review the consigned inventory they still own in your organization using a Redwood page.

The Consigned Inventory page in the Supplier Portal is a newly unified page designed to streamline the review of consigned inventory, transactions, and consumption advices. Through the Consigned Inventory tile, suppliers can easily view consigned stock balances, monitor related transactions, review automatically generated consumption advices, and initiate the invoicing process.

NOTE: To access the new Redwood Supplier Portal landing page, you must enable the Redwood: Enable the New Supplier Portal Home Page Experience opt-in feature.

The Consigned Inventory page features three built-in tabs: Consigned Inventory, Transactions, and Advices.

  • Consigned Inventory: Review consigned inventory aging to identify items due for consumption.
  • Transactions: View detailed consigned inventory transactions, such as ownership transfers.
  • Advices: Access consumption advice documents that inform suppliers about stock consumed by the buying organization. After consumption, suppliers can initiate invoicing.

The Consigned Inventory tab is displayed by default, but you can easily navigate between the three tabs depending on the information or transactions you require.
