Marcone Item Consignment Program (Self servicing branch)

EPASS Support

04-Dec-2025

Context: Marcone has a program it offers to dealers where the dealer carries a selection of parts in their warehouse that they don’t directly own. This allows the dealer to have access to more parts that it might not have to special order and it allows Marcone to cut down on the number of small orders it needs to ship out. This might be called part consignment or Marcone may call it a self servicing branch (SSB). Marcone ships a large order to the dealer up front and then the dealer uses and pays for what they need.

Our suggestions on how to handle setup:

• Create a new location in EPASS that will hold all Marcone items. You can use bins if you want to, but you don't have to.
• Do the initial PO import to pull all of the Marcone inventory in. Receive and cost like normal. Do not do create any AP invoices.
• The value of your PO and the valuation running IN-12 for that specific EPASS location should match after you do your receiving/costing.
• Set your min/max values for your items in the Marcone location based on what they initially sent you.
• Run PO-12 based on min/max values for that Marcone location to track what needs to be reordered to keep your Marcone parts in stock. You can use this process to figure out how much you owe Marcone for sold stock.
• Accounting-wise, use IN-12 to track the value of your Marcone consignment inventory for that one location in EPASS. We might expect that you track Marcone inventory (on hand) and Marcone inventory (owed) as an asset/liability and make journal entries as needed.
