Updates
A withdrawal from the pipeline results in the following updates in the system:
- The pipeline withdrawal results in a vendor liability that must be settled periodically in a similar way to the management of consignment stocks.
- A consumption history is kept.
The pipeline withdrawal has no effect on existing warehouse stock or on the availability of the material.
