We have a number of suppliers where our delivery terms are Ex Works, and we am looking to implement a process where we take ownership of the goods when they are dispatched from the supplier location. Currently we register arrival when the goods land at the destination.

The requirement is to record the goods in inventory when the leave the supplier location, but also maintain a available date which reflects the transit time to the destination site.

I am considering registering arrival at the point of dispatch from  the supplier and using an internal transit time to control the available in inventory date.

Would anyone be willing to share any experiences in this area? Is there any functionality that i might be overlooking?
