Recording Consumption, Posting the Invoice, and Creating a Sales Legal Document
The consigned goods are eventually consumed by customers, triggering the transfer of ownership; the customer must relay this information to the supplier. This makes causes the supplier to create an invoice and a sales legal document for the consumed inventory. The tax usage you defined in the Sales Tax Usage field in Simultaneous Operation Maintenance is applied in this sales legal document.
Use one of the following programs to record consumption, post the invoice, and create a sales legal document.
• Use Inventory Usage Create (7.18.13) to record consumption and initiate ISS-SO and subsequent invoicing.
• Use Authorization Usage Create (7.18.14) to record consumption of consigned inventory shipped based on scheduled orders referencing customer authorization and initiate ISS-SO and subsequent invoicing.
• Use Sequenced Usage Create (7.18.15) to record consumption of consigned inventory shipped based on scheduled orders referencing customer sequences and initiate ISS-SO and subsequent invoicing.
Use the Consignment Details frame to select the item you want to process consumption against and enter the quantity of the consumed inventory. When the consumption is done, you must create a shipper so that the system can automatically create an invoice based on your shipper information. Finally, you create a sales legal document that will be sent to the customer.
Important: Unlike when you create a shipping legal document, an AR amount arises from creating a sales legal document. The system posts this amount in the general ledger along with the sales tax.
