Consignment is selling one's products to a third-party vendor, such as a consignment shop or an online thrift store. The owner of the goods pays a commission to a third-party vendor from the sales made by the third-party vendor in this consignment sale process. For now, we already support maintaining inventory items that are deposited in other stores for consignment needs in the DealPOS application. You can see the steps in doing consignment for several stores.
Notes :
In this case, we act as a depositor of products to send our product to a consignment outlet.
I. Add Consignment Outlet
You can skip this section if you feel that one outlet is sufficient and there is no need to add another outlet if consignment sales are entered at the same outlet.
Step 1. Go to Outlet Menu, then Click Add
Step 2. Click Save and Choose Reason
Click Save, and choose the "Consignment Sales" Reason
Notes :
Add outlet only if you haven't added it yet, for example, we'll create a new outlet as a Consignment Outlet (Named Consignment)
II. Transfer Stock to Consignment Outlet
You can skip this section if you only have one outlet.
Step 1. Go to Logistics (Transfer Order), then Click New
To make shipments from producers to consignment stores.
Step 2. Select Source Outlet
Select the outlet where the stock comes from (from which outlet you want to send the goods).
Step 3. Choose Destination
Step 4. Select Destination Outlet
Step 5. Process Transfer Order
Add the item to the transfer cart, set the quantity, and then click the process button. You can add more than one item to the transfer cart.
After the process, the transfer order is completed.
Step 6. Transfer Order was Created
You will have data on shipping goods to the consignment outlet. Ensure the transfer order status is "Received".
Step 7. Go to Inventory, then Select Product by Outlet
View the product inventory from the consignment outlet.
III. Sales Transaction in Consignment Outlet
Step 1. Go to Sell, then Choose Consignment Outlet
Step 2. Add Item to Shopping Cart, then Click Pay
Step 3. Recheck Product Inventory on Inventory Traffic
So when there is a transaction in the Outlet then the inventory will decrease. Go to the Inventory menu, more menu, and click Inventory Traffic (Outlet).
You can check the summary of sold products in the sold column.
Notes :
We will charge your Consignment Outlet if you sell more than 25 monthly transactions. So if you don't want to be charged, combine your transactions into 1-time selling, at least once a week.
