Consigned Inventory Setup in Solar?

I am struggling to find information on how to handle consignment sales orders with Solar E9. We own the inventory that is consigned and need to keep it that way until we either invoice or request the product returned.

We initially treated storage locations as branches, but were advised against this practice. Who has dealt with setting up consigned inventory in E9 before? Any tips or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what Solar E9 is, but we have a setup.

We pull the consignment levels from the customer portal
Load that as a forecast
Convert them as firm jobs.
Created UD table that has a “sending” schedule to customer
Shipping updates this Updatable UD table now by marking shipped and tracking
Create fake packing slips and labels based on sending schedule and sales orders marked as consignment
Send assemblies to customer
transfer FG to Consignment warehouse (Non-nettable)

Pull consignment usage from customer portal and ship in system the usage.
Invoice customer.

If you are Multi Site, I can send you a document on how a consultant, I think EPICOR, has consignment working.

We have consigned inventory set up as Plants because we own that inventory and track it in Epicor.

If you’re looking to hold inventory for your customers after they purchase the goods, you can look into Customer Managed Bins. I think it’s a feature of the CRM module.

If you’re looking to inventory product owned by your suppliers, you can look into Supplier Managed Bins. I think it’s a feature of the SRM module.
