Inventory Transfer Multi-Ledger Consideration

Inventory Transfer and Consignment Warehouse Guidelines

• You can transfer inventory between consignment warehouses even if the GL Ledgers assigned to the warehouses are different.

• A Consignment Warehouse is identified by the "Is Consignment" checkbox being checked.

• On the Transfer Journal, the GL Ledger must match the GL Ledger assigned to the Transfer-To Warehouse.

Posting Inventory to Consignment Warehouses

• When adding inventory to a consignment warehouse, always use a unit cost of 0.

• If inventory is posted with a non-zero cost, you must zero out the inventory as soon as possible to maintain a clean balance sheet.

Transferring Inventory from Owned to Consignment Warehouses

• Use a Sales Order to deduct inventory from the owned warehouse.

• Then use an Item Journal to add inventory to the consignment warehouse at zero cost.

Transferring Inventory Between Owned Warehouses Across Different GL Ledgers

• You must use inter-company Purchase Orders and inter-company Sales Orders to handle the transfer properly between ledgers. Read Process Intercompany Transactions for more details.
