Enter consignments
When to use this procedure
Use this procedure to receive an item into your consignment inventory with a SKU and serial number (the item exists in your inventory).
Refer to Enter consignments in batch mode for instructions on entering one or more items into your inventory without a SKU and serial number. Tri-Tech recommends that consignment stores always use the batch method of consignment entry regardless of the number of items you are entering.
Steps to complete
- On the Modules menu, point to Inventory, then to Consignment & Purchase, then click Enter Consignment. The Pick Customer window displays.
- Search for or select a consignor and click Select. The Enter Consignment window displays. If necessary, create a new consignor account.
- Verify and update, if necessary, the consignor, store location, and consignment date in the Account, Location, and Date boxes.
- Enter a valid serialized SKU for this item in the SKU box. You can optionally press F6 to search for and select a serialized SKU on the Select SKU window.
Note: You must use a serialized SKU to enter consignments and it may be a reusable SKU. If a SKU is not already set up to use, create one on the Enter New Inventory window.
- Enter a serial number in the Serial# box or click ISI to automatically generate a serial number.
- Indicate if the item is new or used on the Code box.
- If desired, enter a stock number and selection code in the Stock# and Sel Code boxes. These values are for reference only.
- Change any of the cost boxes, if necessary. These boxes automatically populate with information based on the SKU you selected in step 5.
- Update the commission amount for this item in the Spiff box, if necessary.
- Select Percentage or Dollar and enter a consignor fee percentage or a consignor fee flat rate in the Consign Amt boxes.
- If this item has a warranty period, enter the number of months in the Warranty box.
- Select the Retain Info check box if you want to add additional items without changing the values you've entered in steps 3-11.
- Enter any notes for the consignment item in the Notes box to print on the consignment receipt. You can optionally press F6 and select a catalog comment from the Select Comment window.
- Click Add.
- Repeat steps 3-15 as necessary for each item you are receiving into your inventory. If you selected the Retain Info check box in step 12, the majority of values you entered in steps 3-11 are saved until you change them. If this is true, simply enter a new serial number and repeat step 14 as many times as necessary.
- Optionally select the Print Label When Saved check box to print barcode labels/inventory tags for the items.
- Click Save. The Select Output Destination window displays.
- Select your desired output destination and click OK. The receipt is sent to print preview, a printer, a file location, or email, depending on your report output selections.
