S/4HANA Consignment Process

Introduction

Vendor Consignment is a process where supplier (vendor) provides material to purchaser and store in premises of the purchaser itself. Ownership of that material is lies in the hands of supplier although it is stored in purchaser premises.

We can say that the material remains in books of the vendor until withdrawn from consignment stock. Inventory in the hands of purchaser gets affected only when the stock gets transferred.

The supplier would not raise invoice initially, a purchaser will only pay after consumption
