Defining Consignment Resources and Prices for a Supplier

When the supplier’s consignment agreement is activated, you can start selecting the resources they will be supplying and entering the consignment prices. To identify a resource as a consignment supplier resource, you must select the consignment purchase type.
This topic explains how to select consignment resources and enter consignment prices for a supplier. This procedure assumes that the relevant resources are already entered in the resource catalog.

To Define a Consignment Resource for a Supplier

1.
Select the site’s Purchasing view, Suppliers tab.
2.
On the Suppliers tab, open the supplier for which you want to create consignment supplier resources. The Supplier window appears.
3.
Select the Resources view. This view lists all of the resources currently supplied by this supplier.
4.
To add a supplier resource, click New. The New Supplier Resource dialog appears.
5.
In the Purchase type box, select Consignment purchase.
6.
Enter the number of the resource in the Resource box or click Browse to search for the resource.
7.
In the Site box, select the site for which this supplier resource and price applies.
8.
If available, enter the supplier’s Product number and Product description.
9.
Fill in the Units of measure and Pricing information sections. For Price type, you will typically select Regular price. A Special price is usually associated with a special set of terms and conditions, lead-time, or supplier promotion.
10.
Enter details on the other tabs as required. For detailed instructions, see Creating a Supplier Resource.
11.
When you are finished, click OK. The resource is now listed on the Supplied Resources tab.
12.
If you have not already done so, you must set the consignment inventory group for the resource’s warehouse item. Each resource that is supplied on consignment must have a warehouse inventory group setting for replenishment purposes. See Setting the Consignment Inventory Group for a Warehouse Item.
