Screen Path: WMS → Reports → Inventory Reports → Inventory Report
Setup
1) Client
On the Client Set up, choose the client (owner client) who will be given access to use its items. The clients that are going to be the seller(s) should be defined on the “Client Sellers” tab. “Seller Client” has access to use items. If you want to add a new seller client, simply click the new button. Adding more than one seller client is available.
Screen Path: Entity → Client Set Up
2) Item
The seller client of the item which will be consigned should be defined on the Item screen. You can define the client(s) who have access to use the owner's client’s item. When you give access to a user, the seller client is just able to use the defined item.
