Consignment items in your store can be scanned and behave like all other inventory items. There are just a couple of things to keep in mind as these items come up to sell. This article will go over Selling an item on Consignment.
Instructions
- From the Dashboard, start by scanning the inventory label into the Smart Search field.
- In the Transactions screen, click on the Detail button to verify the Consignment information
- Notice that under the item details, you can see that this item is on Consignment. The Minimum Selling Price is also listed.
- Click Next to process the transaction.
- If you click the Edit button on the sale line it will bring up the Sale Detail window.
IMPORTANT: The Selling Price in the Sale Detail window equals the Minimum Selling Price. This price is non-negotiable for Consignment items. Associates or managers can sell items below the Minimum Selling Price, potentially reducing the payout to the consignor.
- Complete the Sale like normal.
Things to Know
After an item is sold, the payment hold period starts. This can be configured in System Configuration>Consignments>Payment Hold Period. You can set it from 0 for immediate payout to the consignor, or choose a duration that suits your store. This period determines when you notify the consignor about their successful sale.
Note: We recommend setting the Hold Period to be at least the same length of time as your store's standard Return Period to anticipate the item being returned from the buyer for a refund.
