Consignments

The Consignments functionality in Khaos Control allows users to ship goods contained on purchase orders from one port to another, either to be sent directly to the customer or to the user's location if the consignment contains items for more than one customer.

The costs incurred when shipping items using consignments can then be amortised across the items either updating their stock value or adding the cost into the stock item overhead field. If amortising consignments costs against the stock value of the items booked in against the consignment will only work if the Stock Value Calculation Method is set to Average.

Note: applying the amortised costs against the stock overheads will not work on stock items with a zero stock value.

The Consignments area consists of the following screens:

• List
• Detail Consignment
• Detail Costs

Before consignments are used there are several options that are setup in [ System Data | Consignments ], see How To: Setup Consignments.
