We use master/child orders and warehouses. We create a PO based on the Master Quantity of a sales order then receive that into the consignment warehouse for the customer then create child SO pulls off of that master and out of the consignment warehouse based on pull reports from the customer. It gets a little funky in that we deal in long time sea shipments so we actually have a transit warehouse in there. So we receive to a "transit" warehouse when our vendor ships, then when received at the customer's consignment, transfer to the consignment, then pull. This gives us a better view of product flow as it is shipped from our Vendor - Transit - Consignment - Pull (SO). Of course, all of this leads to a ridiculous amount of warehouses which have to be coded well enough for people to know what they are looking at.
