This tool is used for managing consignments, which are trading arrangements in which the company sends products to retailers in order for the retailers to sell the products. In such cases, the products are paid for only if and when they are sold. If the reseller cannot sell the products in a specific amount of time, the products are sent back to the company. The selling period is specified during the company’s and reseller’s initial agreement.

How to access from the navigation bar: Inventory →  Outgoing consignments

The outgoing consignments, along with their related information, are listed here in a grid. The first level of the grid lists basic information about the consignments, while the items which were sent out for purpose of sale and included on the outgoing consignment are listed on the second level of the grid, accessible by using the sign from the left side of the consignment.
The grid’s first-level columns contain the following information:
