Overview
Tab Path: Vendors > Receive Consign Items
Consignment receiving is different from normal purchasing because the stock may be physically received before the usual ownership or billing process is completed.
QBM provides a dedicated consignment receiving workflow so users can review that stock separately and avoid confusion with standard receiving.
Main Screens
| Screen | Tab Path | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Receive Consign Items | Vendors > Receive Consign Items | Record the consignment receipt itself. |
| Receive Consign Items List | Vendors > Receive Consign Items List | Review and reopen recorded consignment receipts. |
How It Works
- The workflow helps track supplier-provided stock that needs separate operational handling.
- Users should confirm the vendor, item, and receipt quantities carefully before saving.
- Consignment activity should remain distinguishable from ordinary purchase receiving.
Recommended Workflow
- Open the consignment receiving screen and enter the vendor and item details exactly as received.
- Review quantities and references before saving.
- Use the list screen to monitor prior receipts and reopen them when follow-up is needed.
- Continue to the later settlement or billing process according to your company's consignment policy.
Best Practice
- Train users clearly on the difference between consignment and ordinary receiving.
- Keep vendor references complete for later reconciliation.
- Do not mix consignment receipts and standard bills casually in operational discussions.
