Step by step
- Open Purchases > Consignment Setup.
- In the Consignment Suppliers table each row is a supplier with terms. Tick Consignment By Default so that new purchases from this supplier are marked Consignment.
- Choose the Basis: Agreed cost, or Commission on sale with the Commission %. Add a Note if needed.
- To add a supplier choose him in Add a supplier in the last row and set the basis and the commission.
- Press Save to keep the supplier rows.
- Under Settings choose Commission Is Worked Out On: the sale price with VAT or without VAT (both after item discount), and press Save Settings.
- The trash button removes a supplier from the list; his purchases and settlements stay as they are.
Good to know
- Consignment Purchases shows how many purchases of the supplier are marked Consignment.
- A supplier can also be made a consignment supplier on the supplier form (Contacts > Suppliers).
- Commission Is Worked Out On cannot be changed once any settlement exists.
- How It Works on the page sums it up: receive the goods with Add Purchase and tick Consignment, sell as usual, settle the supplier up to a date and pay him, and give unsold goods back with Purchase Return.
- You need the permission for consignment setup, and the Consignment Suppliers app must be on.
