Consignment Inventory Tracking

What it does

This NetSuite customization enables tracking and management of consignment inventory, where goods are owned by a vendor but stored and used by the business.

It ensures accurate accounting, visibility, and control over consigned stock.

This is valuable for businesses looking to reduce working capital while maintaining inventory availability.

How it's built

The solution uses custom inventory ownership logic, location tracking, and financial rules to distinguish consigned inventory from owned inventory.

It supports consumption tracking and automatic recognition of ownership transfer when inventory is used or sold.

Key components

  • Consignment inventory ownership tracking
  • Separate valuation and accounting logic
  • Consumption and ownership transfer rules
  • Reporting on consigned vs owned inventory
  • Integration with procurement and fulfillment
