As these products are likely to be consumed in the manufacturing process, potentially where a number of products are consumed in the BOM; they ideally need to be functioning in the same way as other products. With the current implemented functionality, it's a split process where you have to use a paper pick list for the consignment inventory and the mobile device for the other products.

We keep consignment inventory as finished goods from different vendors in our warehouse and change ownership only when we receive sales order. As we import and get container loads of these inventory and there is no way to manage them in the warehouse but on paper. I agree with other comments above. It is MUST Have for us.

We are also finding this an issue to not be able to use advanced warehouse management and the consignment process together. I am very surprised to be listing this as an issue, for this a very core process for many industries, especially that do any type of manufacturing or assembly with parts made from vendors. Even with my prior experiences, a system like SAP could handle this seamlessly with advanced warehouse management. After you need the receipt, it kicked off the advanced warehouse moves as a follow on transaction. For transfer of ownership, you just included the bin location and/or batch that you were taking ownership of during the process flow.

This is very important for us. We have vendor consigned inventory that is finished goods not related to manufacturing.

Should be given a priority, customers are frustrated by having to have different processes for the inbounding of stock, simply because the financials for this process are different, the operational process is the same.

It must also be possible to change the ownership on pick work creation. Scenario 1: Finished goods in warehouse with ownership of Vendor 1 (could be intercompany vendor !!). Sales order is created and reserves the quantity and creates wave, pick work creation should now trigger change of ownership before it is picked.
Senario 2: same for material used in production: pick work creation should be the trigger for change of ownership.

Copy that, an absolut must have. Currently we are having an project, where consignment material is handeled on a WHS warehouse. The consignment integration to WHS should support:
- some solution for recieving an replenishment order by WHS APP
- Raw material picking (WHS APP)
-....
