The subinventory is
not an Asset
Subinventory and not
Depreciable.

4. Set the account numbers for the
subinventory. The items we are
discussing today are finished
goods so they are in the finished
goods account.

5. ITEM DEFINITION

6. ITEM DEFINITION
• The item must be assigned to the Organization
where it will be stored.
• Items are Transactable, Stockable, and Reservable
on the Inventory attributes tab.
• The item must be a consigned item, check the the
Consigned box on the General attributes tab.
• Consigned Inventory from Supplier does not use
Outside Processing, EAM items, Configure to
Order and Assemble to Order items

7. SUPPLIER AND SITE

8. SUPPLIER AND SITE
• If the supplier is also used to source product that is
not consigned, you may want to add another site
for the supplier for consignment.
• The supplier site must be a purchasing site. You
enable paying your supplier by selecting a method
on the Purchasing tab of the Supplier Sites
window in Oracle Payables.
• When self-billing for the supplier site is enabled,
you will create invoices automatically rather than
wait for the supplier to bill you.

9. SELF BILLING
• Pay On
– Select a payment method. Use is selected for
consigned material. Receipt is used for
material that is not consigned. Receipt and Use
is for material that can be consigned or non-
consigned material.
– Optionally, you can select a different pay site
than the supplier site, as in the example here

10. Invoice Summary Level
•Enter the level you want to use for consolidating
invoices for this supplier site when submitting the Pay
Auto Invoice Program.
•The invoice summary levels are dependent on the
Pay On method selected:
•Use has been selected and the invoice summary
options are Consumption Advice, and Pay Site.
•Pay Site summary level groups invoices together based
on the Currency and Payment terms criteria.

11. CREATE BLANKET PURCHASE
AGREEMENTS

12. CREATE BLANKET PURCHASE
AGREEMENTS
• Blanket purchase agreements are required for consigned
inventory.
– They provide the details of the goods you plan to buy from a
specific supplier in a period, but you do not yet know the detail of
our delivery schedules.
– Blanket purchase agreements specify negotiated prices for your
items before actually purchasing them.
– Oracle recommends that you do not use the header level amount
agreed for your blanket purchase agreement. Using this option
Creating Approved Suppliers limits your ability to consume
material above the agreed levels.
• The Blanket Purchase agreement is used to create releases
when the product is consumed according to the
Consumption Rules you will define.

13. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS
Your purchasing suppliers are created
in the Supplies window and they are
associated to the items your are buying
using the Approved Supplier List and
Supplier-Item Attributes windows.
Create the consigned item here and
enter the Key Attributes, Business,
Supplier, Site and Approval Status.

14. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS
Use the Record detail tab to
indicate if your approved
supplier can be a local or
global supplier.
A local ASL is used only in the
organization in which it was
defined. A global ASL may be
used in all organizations you
specify.

15. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS
The source documents region is used to
associate specific quotations or blanket
purchase agreements with the supplier and
item combinations.
This enables Purchasing to default source
documents automatically. All consigned
enable suppliers must have a referenced
blanket purchase agreement.
Only blanket purchase agreements may be
used as source documents for consigned
inventory

16. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS

17. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS
•Inventory Tabbed region
•This region is used to enable consigned inventory, indicate Billing
Cycle Days and define the Aging parameters.
•The Billing Cycle Days is used by the concurrent batch program,
Create Consumption Advice, to generate consumption advice
documents for billing records.
•The Last Billing Cycle Date field is set to the system date when you
set up Consigned Inventory from the supplier. It is updated each
time the program runs. In the example, the Billing Cycle Date is not
used but the Consumption Advice report is scheduled to run at the
end of each month.

18. CREATING APPROVED SUPPLIERS
•The default is null. If the value is null, a consumption advice is
created every time consigned material is consumed. The Billing
Date is defaulted to the current system date, and subsequently
updated every time the Create Consumption Advice concurrent
program is executed.
•In the example today, we are not required to consume the consigned
material in a specified period of time. If you are required to
consume in stipulated time then enable the check box and indicate
the maximum number of days material may be kept using the Aging
Period Days.

19. DEFINE CONSUMPTION
TRANSACTION RULES

20. DEFINE CONSUMPTION
TRANSACTION RULES
• The Consumption Setup window, located in Inventory Set Up, is used
to enlist additional transaction types for consigned inventory
consumption.
– These transactions include Subinventory Transfer, Move Orders, and others.
– In the example, whenever a Sales Order Pick or Internal Order Picks, the From
Subinventory is TSC and it is transferred to FSV Stage.
• Consumption transactions are performed either explicitly of
implicitly.
– This is an Implicit consumption which refers to any type of consumption in
which the system automatically determines that consumption is necessary and
selects the owning parties whose stock will be used up to complete the required
transaction. The system automatically generates a Transfer to Regular
transaction whenever consumption takes place.

21. DEFINE CONSUMPTION
TRANSACTION RULES
Some transactions always
consume consigned materials.
These transactions include the
following:
•Sales Order issue
•WIP issues
•Inter-Organization transfers
•Miscellaneous issues

22. DEFINE CONSUMPTION
TRANSACTION RULES
Explicit consumption is performed
by using the consigned transactions
window and performing a transfer
to regular transaction. Transfer to
Regular transfers ownership from
the supplier. Transfer to
Consigned transfers the ownership
to the supplier.
When goods are consumed, they
are valued and accounted at the
price that is in effect at
consumption time. Sourcing rules
determine the appropriate
purchasing agreement.

24. PURCHASING CONSIGNED
MATERIAL
• Purchase orders for consigned material can be entered using
the Purchase Orders window.The relevant purchase order
shipment lines are automatically marked as consigned.
Orders for consigned material are created as standard
purchase orders.
• The destination type for all consigned shipment
distributions is always set to Inventory.

25. PURCHASING CONSIGNED
MATERIAL
The example is creating the PO for the consigned item. You
can view the shipment line details in the shipment window.
Shipment lines for consigned material have the following
attributes:
•Invoice Close Tolerance is 100 percent because the consigned
shipment is not invoiced.
•Match Approval Level value is 2 Way Matching, regardless
of value entered on the Supplier window, because the
shipment is not matched against as accounts payable invoice.

26. PURCHASING CONSIGNED
MATERIAL
•Accrue on Receipt is disable because financial liability is
deferred until ownership is transferred to your organization.

30. RECEIVING CONSIGNED
INVENTORY
• You receive consigned material is the same way in which
you receive regular material, except that there is no
accounting event that might increase financial liability.
When receiving consigned material, you never match a
payables invoice to a consigned receipt. The goods ordered
are received into consigned inventory at the receiving
organization.
• When a consumption transaction is executed, the system
performs the accounting and costing processes that are
normally executed at receipt and delivery. Document
sourcing is used to determine the relevant prices of goods
during consumption.

31. RECEIVING CONSIGNED
INVENTORY
• In this example, the items are destination Inventory
and the Subinventory is TSC. The items are now in
the consigned subinventory and a subinventory
transfer or miscellaneous transaction is not required.

41. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
Run Create Consumption Advice Report to generate
consumption advices.
The consumption transactions, over a period of time, are
grouped together for the creation of consumption advice.
The specific duration in days, over which the consumption
transactions are combined for billing by the Create
Consumption Advice program, is called the billing cycle.

42. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
You can set up the billing cycle value and the other
consigned attributes in the ASL. The value in the Last
Billing Date field specifies the date on which the last Create
Consumption Advice program was run.

43. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE

44. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE

Receipt Auto Invoice
Report in Payables
with the transaction
source as Use.

46. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
Notice the Last Billing Date, it
has changed to May 15, 2007,
indicating the date on which the
last Create Consumption Advice
program was run.

47. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
We created a custom report
to show the items sold on
consignment. You can run it
by Supplier Name of Period
Name.

48. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
•The standard Oracle process creates a report listing item consumed
and quantity.
•The Pay on Receipt Auto Invoice process generates an entry in the
Payables module listing consumed quantity and vendor.
•The two are not tied together for auditing purposes.
•We created a custom report tying the two together, allowing our
Accounting group to identify and connect payments to vendors with
items and quantities

49. GENERATING THE CONSUMPTION
ADVICE
The report lists each item,
quantity, price, and total
amount for a particular
item. The supplier will
know what he is being
paid and the Payable
employees can answer
invoice questions.

50. INVOICING
An accounts payable invoice is
created after consumption advice
records are generated. When the
concurrent program is submitted, it
first identifies all eligible change of
ownership transactions. Invoice
records are created in accounts
payables for the line matched with
the corresponding purchase order or
blanket release.

51. PAY ON AUTO INVOICE
CONCURRENT PROGRAM
• The Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice concurrent
program automatically creates invoices from
eligible consumption advice. The following rules
govern this program:
– In order to create invoices from consumption advice-
self billing must be enabled and the receipt type must
be either Pay on Use, or Pay on Use and Receipt.
– Invoices are created for consumption advice in the
same operating unit selected for the concurrent
program.

52. PAY ON AUTO INVOICE
