Setup of Consignment Items   

Some users have or may want to allow the use of Consignment sales within their stores. Consignment is the placing an item into the possession of a store, while the customer retains ownership until the item is sold. TransActPOS can handle these items, but must go through some setup to allow them to work properly. This week's newsletter will take you through the steps required to setup this feature.
Setup
To begin the setup process, we must create a class for consignment items. To do this, go to IC | Support Files | Class. You will be presented with a listing of the current classes within your system. Click New to create a new class.

Enter an ID and Description for the new class. Any other information on this screen is optional. Once the desired information has been entered, click OK to save the new class. Once you are out of the Class list, click on Code to create a new code (IC | Support Files | Code. Enter an ID and Description for the new code and click OK to save.
 The next step is to setup each vendor with the new class and code you just created. This is located in IC | Vendors. For more information on creating/editing Vendors, click the Help Center button within TransActPOS and search "Vendors."

The final step is to create a SKU for each type of consignment item (furniture, appliance, etc). Make sure when you create an item, the item is Non-stock and, depending on the item, you might want to select "Get Description/Quantity/Price" for the item as well. Once the item is initially setup, make sure the pricing for the item is "variable cost."

For more information on this process, click the Help Center button within TransActPOS and search "How to Setup Consignment Items."
