Exporting Consignment Usage Data
Use Consignment Usage Export (35.4.2) to notify your supplier that you have consumed inventory shipped to your location on a consignment basis. Ownership of consigned inventory items is not transferred from the supplier to the customer until the items are used. The supplier can use the information in the exported file to determine how much of the total order quantity is available for invoicing.
For information on Supplier Consignment Inventory, see
QAD Purchasing User Guide.
