Invoice Creation - File - Post Consignment Transfer

Use this option to post an order as a consignment transfer. This is where you supply goods to a client (e.g. a wholesaler supplies to a retailer) but the client doesn't pay for those goods until they are sold to a customer. Micronet transfers the goods to the consignment warehouse you nominate but does not charge the client for the goods until the client processes an invoice for them.

Technical Tip You can only post goods as a consignment transfer if: inter company trading (ICT) has been setup for the customer (refer to "Edit - Program - Inter Branch Transfer") the customer's Branch Type is Consignment Trading Partner (refer to "File - Debtor - ICT") the Allow Consignment Stock field on the Inventory Configuration screen is set to Yes (refer to "Edit - Program - Inventory").

To post an order as a consignment transfer:

1. Process the invoice to completion stage.

Refer to "Sales - Invoice Creation" for the steps involved.

2. Select FILE | POST CONSIGNMENT TRANSFER.

Micronet posts the order as a consignment transfer and displays the Select Output Device screen.

3. Select whether you want the consignment transfer docket displayed on screen, printed, saved to a specific type of file, faxed, or emailed in a specific format.

Reference For more details on these options, refer to "Selecting the Output for Inquiries and Reports".

Micronet prints or displays the consignment transfer docket and redisplays the Invoice Creation screen.

Technical Tip You can reprint a consignment transfer docket. Refer to "Sales - Reprint Invoice".
