Non-valuated inventory consists of materials that are managed by the distributor but owned by the customer. Hence, it has no book value. A distributor may have non-valuated inventory for many customers in the same warehouse as its owned inventory. Inventory must transition smoothly from valuated to non-valuated based on customer requirements. Pick, pack, and ship become more difficult when lot billing scenarios are included.
The format for Thursday, April 23 at 2 p.m. CT will include:
