      <Paragraph>The steps involved in the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000468" role="manual">Warehouse management by customer</Link> scenario are identical

		Step 6, Invoicing. These steps are outlined below. For the other steps of this

            <Paragraph>The supplier and the customer register the issue in the VMI
			 warehouse in their ERP systems.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>In the customer's ERP system, a payable receipt and a
			 consumption record are created. The consumption record is stored in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2551m000" role="session">Consigned Consumptions (whwmd2551m000)</GUIRef> session and linked to the purchase order
			 and the receipt for which the consumed goods were originally received in the
			 warehouse. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000474#Consumption_records" role="manual">Consumption records</Link>.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>In the supplier's ERP system, a consumption record is
			 created in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4140m000" role="session">Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000)</GUIRef> session, either
			 electronically after a <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000479" role="glossary" Update="No">BOD</Link> message from the customer or manually. This consumption
			 record reduces the inventory levels in the administrative warehouse and handles
			 the invoicing in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ci/sli" role="module">Invoicing</GUIRef> module for the supplier . ERP Enterprise links the
			 consumption record to the originating sales order to the customer. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/td/onlinemanual/000451" role="manual">Inventory consumption handling</Link>.</Paragraph>

			 order line. The invoicing lines are shown in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4106m100" role="session">Sales Order Invoice Lines (tdsls4106m100)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If during the process no originating sales order line is
