Consignment in Order Management

Infor LN FP3

In Infor LN FP3, if you make use of consignment inventory, the order/schedule procedure is split into two parts:

  • Consignment replenishment.
  • Consignment payment/invoicing.

You use the consignment replenishment part of the order procedure to fill up the consignment stock. You use the consignment payment/invoicing part of the order procedure to pay for the consumed consignment inventory.

Due to these separate procedure parts, the payment/invoicing for a consumption of consignment inventory cannot be directly linked to the replenishment order or schedule.

New in Infor LN FP4

In Infor LN FP4, if you use consignment inventory, you can choose between the following setups:

  • Basic consignment
    This is the old Infor LN FP3 setup, as described above.
  • Extended consignment
    This is a new setup, which enables you to directly link the payment/invoicing for a consumption of consignment inventory to the replenishment order or schedule.

For detailed information, refer to Consignment in Sales and Procurement.

Changed in Infor LN FP4

In the (basic) consignment payment part of Infor LN FP3, each consumption results into a purchase order line that is linked to a purchase payment order.

In Infor LN FP4, a consumption always results into a purchase payable receipt that is linked to a purchase order line.
