Create Consumption Advice

When to Use

A consumption advice is a periodic summary report of consumption transactions that reports the usage of consigned inventory to the supplier based on a consumption advice frequency.

The consumption advice stores the details needed to communicate information to the supplier such as item quantity and value of the inventory consumed in the warehouse. The consumption advice also serves as the document to initiate financial settlement for the consumed material.
