Vendor Managed Inventory

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 465

I have seen some threads on this topic but nothing seems definitive...

One of our hardware vendors is offering to setup an in-plant location and will hold all of our inventory until we are ready to consume it.  When we create a WO for an assembly, we will create two WO picklists.  The first will pull items from our warehouse.  The second will pull the hardware that the vendor owns and controls.

1. How will we need to setup the items from an accounting and planning side in order to allow AX to drive demand?

2. Is it possible for us to receive in AX the items to the hardware warehouse without actually owning these items?  If not, how would we receive them at a $0 value and assign a cost when the WO picklist is picked or reported as finished?

3. When would we take ownership? Would it be when the WO is picked or when it is RAF'ed?

Any additional insight would be great as well as how you may be running a VMI program. 


Thanks!

    1. I would set it up as a new warehouse. You can then consume from it. Accounts can run the inventory reports and journal the value in this warehouse out each period.

    2. Receive in at the cost, then you can match the invoice. Segregation should satisfy accounts and ensures process and planning controls work.

    3. I would say when it is picked, but that is different to when you are invoiced. Report to the vendor monthly usage and they generate the invoice to you,  or the vendor defines the terms of course!
