This location is used to keep track of the goods that are physically located at the customer. ***Create a sales order*** 1. Go to Sales → Orders and create a new sales order. 2. Add the products that should be sent to the customer on consignment. 1. Make sure to select the customer’s consignment location on the order lines. ![image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-00-57-1223-AM](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-00-57-1223-AM.webp?width=516&height=377&name=image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-00-57-1223-AM.webp) ***Create a movement (inventory movement)*** 1. From the sales order, create an inventory movement. 1. Open the order and click Actions. ![image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-01-28-9573-AM](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-01-28-9573-AM.webp?width=167&height=410&name=image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-01-28-9573-AM.webp) 2. The movement is created as a draft. 3. Go to Products → Movements and book the movement so the goods are moved to the customer’s consignment warehouse. --- ### Step 2: Invoicing and inventory deduction ***When you receive an invoice from the customer*** 1. Go to Sales → Orders and find the original sales order. 2. Open the order and click Actions → Reopen. 3. Edit the order so it matches the customer’s invoice (quantities and products). 4. Create and send the invoice to the customer. ***Inventory deduction (shipment)*** Create a shipment either from the sales order or in connection with posting the invoice. Important: Make sure that the inventory location is set to the customer’s consignment location so the goods are deducted from the correct stock. --- ### Step 3: Next steps ***Do you receive goods back from the customer?*** 1. Go to Products → Movements. 2. Create (or import) a movement that moves the goods from the customer’s consignment location back to your own warehouse. 1. See our guide on importing movements here: [How to import movements](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/knowledge/ht-00038?hsLang=en) ***Do you need to create a new delivery to the customer?*** If more goods need to be sent on consignment: 1. Go to Sales → Orders. 2. Find the existing order and copy it. - Open the order and click Actions, or hover over the three dots in the order overview and click Copy order. ![image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-04-38-1105-AM](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-04-38-1105-AM.webp?width=165&height=395&name=image-png-Jan-14-2026-09-04-38-1105-AM.webp) 3.
