Receipt Creation With Consignment Lines
You can create new receipts with consigned items, add consigned items to existing receipts, and receive advanced shipment notices (ASNs) with purchase order lines that are for consigned items.
Consignment lines are receipt lines containing items that are in the possession of one party, but remain the property of another party.
These aspects are important when receiving shipment lines with consigned items:
-
Consignment line indicator
-
Quantity and date tolerances
-
Interface to Oracle Cost Management
-
In-transit shipments
Consignment Line Indicator
If a receipt line is for a purchase order containing consigned items, the page displays the Consignment Line check box as selected for that line. To make the Consignment Line check box visible on the page, select the field from the menu.
Quantity and Date Tolerances
Oracle Receiving performs the same checks against the quantity and date when receiving consigned items as it does for receiving owned items.
These checks include:
-
Overreceipt tolerance: The maximum acceptable percentage of quantity that can be received in excess of the order quantity. Your organization indicates the overreceipt tolerance and whether to prohibit the transaction, display a warning message while permitting the transaction, or permit the transaction without a warning.
-
Early and late receipt tolerance: The number of calendar days before and after the shipment delivery date that you allow receipt. Your organization indicates the early and late receipt tolerances and whether to prohibit the transaction, display a warning message while permitting the transaction, or permit the transaction without a warning.
Interface to Oracle Cost Management
Consigned items aren't accrued at receipt. Receiving interfaces the received consigned items to Cost Management. Cost Management then identifies the transactions for consigned items, but doesn't cost the transactions. The owning party remains the supplier.
In-Transit Shipments
When you receive items for in-transit shipments, the material remains consigned and the aging period isn't reset. The aging period is based on the receipt date at the organization where the material was received by the buyer against the purchase order.
