Consignments

Consignment In

The Consignment In screen records goods received on consignment from a vendor. Items remain vendor-owned until sold or converted to regular stock. Tracks received, returned, sold, invoiced, and to-stock quantities per item. Supports serial number tracking, tax calculation, and can generate a vendor invoice or bring items into regular stock. Access from Consignments › Consignment In.
