Advanced Warehouse and 3rd Party Inventory

[SSG]

Does anyone have a solution to managing 3rd party inventory with the use of advanced warehousing? I am confused as to how the transactions should work in JDE OW. This is our situation...

1. Goods come in from customers - remembering we don't own the goods, just store them. Hence need to receipt but not purchase the goods.
2. Customer must have confirmation of receipt and qty.
3. It would need to be put away using WMS.
4. Our various customers buy and sell to each other, meaning two scenarios:
a) we ship the goods. Inform seller of shipment and buyer of arrival (ie. ASN, delivery docket)
b) the goods never leave our site but ownership changes between the two, we must also confirm that to both parties.

How would you set up the co/branch structure?
How would you be able to tell who owns what (item numbers may be the same)?
What JDE transactions would you use?

Any help to any part of the problem would be most appreciated! Thanks...[crazy]

Dawn,

Here are acouple of suggestions. First, you need to either adjust in or purchase in inventory at zero cost. This way you have the actual item with no cost on your books. A more complicated solution would be to define an consignment ledger type and put the cost values there. This is not recommended as users often are unaware of the accounting controls. Second, define locations or BP's for each of your consigned customers/vendors. BP's is the easiest to track but requires more item in BP item master. Locations often cause problems with the warehouse floor. If you use purchasing and advanced warehouse, you can set rules for receipt putaways, sales picks and putaways for location/BP transfers. You need to determine your business requirements, what level of accuracy you are willing to accept for consigned products and what the warehouse management needs are for your company.
