Consumption Rules
Consumption rules enable you to specify when the consumption of consigned inventory (ownership change) occurs. You define consumption rules on the Manage Consumption Rules page based on attributes such as transaction type, item, from organization, to organization and more.
For example, you can specify subinventory transfer, interorganization transfer, or internal material transfer transactions to trigger ownership changes.
If you create a rule with a higher level of granularity and another rule with a lower level of granularity, the rule that is created at the highest level of granularity (which is wider in coverage) applies during transactions.
Example
