2. INTRODUCTION
The Odoo inventory management is robust and features rich. It encompasses many qualitative and
intuitive feature helping the industry in large for their successful sustenance and growth. In this
blog, we will discuss an important feature titled consignee stock management which comes under
Odoo inventory.
Consignee Stock Management
A consignee stock management is moreover a kind of agreement where the industry handles a
particular stock which is not owned or authored by them. By definition, consignment is an
agreement existing between a third party consignee and an owner. Here the consignee or the third
party is selling goods, which belongs to another person via his inventory in exchange of a fee.
How consignment work is carried is as follows. This is moreover like an agreement, here an item will
be placed under the supervision of a third party until it is bought by a buyer.

3. Here the consignee denotes the person who stocks the item and consigner denote the person who
has produced the stock, that is the real owner of the stock. Here the owner is embedded with
complete responsibility of the product until it is sold. The consignee has the job role of only caring or
keeping the stock.
Let’s illustrate this with an example. Suppose there are two persons namely A and B. Let A be the
owner and B the consignee. A gives his product to B for keeping. No monetary exchange is taken
place here. The only action triggered is the exchange of products. A is still the owner in this case.
Later, a customer purchases this item from B who is the consignee. Now B will give the money
earned from purchase to the owner A. Eventually, B will receive an amount from A in return for
keeping the item. This is how consignment stock works.
The consignment is fully based on trust. The E-commerce websites are considered to be the perfect
examples for consignment agreements. Here the E-commerce website will play the part of the
consignee.Odoo ERP is robust in handling the consignee stock, it has got advanced feature settings to
make this happen in an efficient manner.
