Consigned Inventory replenishment in Ply is fully automatic. When materials are used from Consigned Inventory, Ply tracks the usage and ensures those items are replenished, no manual steps required.
Consume Consigned Inventory
- When your team uses materials from Consigned Inventory, Ply automatically records the consumption.
- You do not need to create or submit a replenishment request.
Automatic Replenishment
- Consumed items are automatically added to the replenishment list.
- Ply creates and sends a consigned replenishment purchase order to Ferguson behind the scenes.
- This purchase order has a “Consigned” sign and can be tracked on the purchase order tracker.
- Ferguson then sends the materials to you.
Supplier Visibility (Ferguson)
- Ferguson does not view the replenishment list inside Ply.
- Instead, Ferguson sees the replenishment as an automatically generated consigned replenishment purchase order in their Trilogie system.
- No action is required from your team to notify Ferguson.
Billing & Payments
- Billing is handled directly by Ferguson.
- Your business pays Ferguson according to your existing billing agreement.
- Ply does not process or display payments related to consigned inventory.
- Ply is used for inventory tracking and replenishment visibility only, not invoicing or payment approval.
