Nick,

Customer consignment is a standard business scenario.  Try the solution described in Best Practices.

119 – Customer Consignment Processing

There are a number of methods to support EDI processing; it depends upon what type of data your customers are capable of sending you, and optionally what type of middleware you will be using to receive the EDI.  In general, a common method is that the output of the middleware could be an SAP IDOC, which can then be processed into your SD and MM modules using ALE.

If you have never actually done such an implementation before, (customer consignment with EDI support) I suggest that you engage a resource to assist you who has experience in this area.  This is not a trivial implementation.
