Consignment Line Corrections
You can correct receipt lines containing both owned and consigned items. Consigned items are items that are in the possession of one party, but remain the property of another party. When a consignment line is consumed, it transfers to owned status.
These aspects are important when correcting receipts with consigned lines:
-
Consignment line indicator
-
Correction eligibility
-
Correction process
-
Consigned and owned material
Consignment Line Indicator
If your receipt line is for a purchase order containing consigned items, the page displays the Consignment Line check box as selected for that line. If the Consignment Line check box is not visible on the page, select the field from the menu.
Correction Eligibility
You can correct consigned receipt lines if they have one of the following statuses:
-
Received
-
Transferred
-
Accepted
-
Rejected
-
Put Away
-
Returned to Supplier
In addition, if you select an item for correction, the correction quantity must fall within the tolerance level set for the document. If the correction quantity falls outside the tolerance limit, then appropriate action is taken based on the tolerance action specified for the document.
Correction Process
The process for positive or negative corrections on receipt lines with consigned items is same as that for regular items. You can specify the quantity to correct for these types of receipt lines and submit the transactions. If you select a receipt line for correction and the corresponding consigned item is either lot or serial controlled, you must consider the correct owning party when selecting the lot and serial number to be corrected.
Consigned and Owned Material
When correcting receipt lines with a transaction type of Put Away, it is possible that for the consigned material that is received from the supplier, part has already been consumed. This means that out of the total quantity received, part of the quantity is consigned, and part of the quantity is owned (already consumed) inventory.
If the receipt line that you want to correct contains both consigned and owned (consumed) quantities, the Correct Lines page displays only the consigned quantity (and not the consumed quantity). Any positive correction to the consumed quantity is treated as a new receipt.
