The Customer Consignment Inventory module lets you plan, order, ship, track, and report customer-consigned inventory using an automated system that reconciles inventories between suppliers and customers. Invoicing and AR transactions are deferred until the inventory is used by the customer.

This chapter describes how to set up and manage consigned inventory. It also gives an overview of the reporting tools available for reviewing and tracking consignment activity.
