Airbus manages parts as consigned VMI: the stock is consignment stock and as long property of the supplier until a part is consumed. The payment of consumption is triggered based on self billing principles. Once the self billing invoice is published in AirSupply, the corresponding stock consumptions are updated with the self billing invoice number.
