UPDATE:
Set all rates to zero in the "Free Goods" section, set contral data to C, C, A, A and then system accepts zero price per 1. The stores get a warning message stating zero value issue (might have to change settings there) and in our system there is a zero value issue doc produced which I will switch off. Now working nicely, but only found from testing.

Subject: Free of charge Vendor Consignment stock

Hi everyone,

My situation is that our business has agreed with the vendor a monthly fixed price for a material no matter how many we use. We supply stock data to vendor weekly and the vendor deliveries stocks as we need, Vendor owns the stocks until such time as we use them. Hence finance is proposing a generic Framework PO for the monthly bill (no GRN match is needed) and I am thinking of Vendor Consignment stock for the Free of Charge weekly receipts from the vendor using 501 K movements (it seems logical as we do not own the stock till its used and then its FOC).

But I cannot find a way to set up vendor consignment info record which allows free of charge deliveries and therefore does not generate any financial movements or postings or invoice liabilities (a 501k movement has a mandatory info record)

Any help is appreciated

Mark
