Manage Stock that you don't own
|
||
===============================
|
||
|
||
Sometimes, suppliers can offer you to store and sell products without
|
||
having to buy those items. This technique is called *consignee stock*.
|
||
|
||
Consignee stock is a great way for manufacturers and suppliers to launch
|
||
new products. As resellers may be reluctant to buy a product they are
|
||
not sure to be able to sell, consignee stock will allow them to offer an
|
||
item to check its market without having to pay for it in the first
|
||
place.
|
||
|
||
Of course, Odoo has the ability to manage those consignee stocks through
|
||
advanced settings.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
To use this feature, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` in
|
||
the inventory app. Then, enable the *Consignment* feature in the
|
||
*Traceability* section. Now, hit save.

Reception of Consignee Stock
|
||
============================
|
||
|
||
When in the *Inventory* app, open the receipts and create a new
|
||
reception. On the right side, you will see that a new line called
|
||
*Assign Owner* has appeared. There, you can specify the partner which
|
||
owns the stock.

|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
If you are the owner, you can leave the field blank.
|
||
|
||
Once the receipt is validated, the products enter your stock but still
|
||
belong to the owner. They don’t impact your inventory valuation.
