Consigned Inventory in Global Procurement

A global procurement Purchase Order (PO) can be created for a supplier consigned inventory. In the standard global procurement flow, the execution of financial orchestration occurs at the time of receipt.

For a consigned global procurement flow, the execution of financial orchestration occurs at the time of consumption. A financial orchestration flow defined with the procurement business process type can be used for both consigned and regular global procurement flows. The supply chain financial orchestration flow ignores the PO receipt transaction for a global procurement flow. Financial orchestration tasks are generated when the Transfer to Owned transaction is generated in Inventory for the goods received through a consigned global PO. Reverse financial orchestration tasks are generated if the goods are transferred back to consigned.
