The Outbound Consignments file is used to track artwork that is going out of your business on consignment, for example tracking framed works going into a mall kiosk, into a developer's model home or a realtor's office. Use Outbound Consignments to track any artwork or product which is leaving your premises.
Caution: Not to be confused with tracking artwork left in your shop on consignment, instead see: Inbound Consignments.
The Consignments file has a similar look and feel to the Invoices file: a form view, a list view and a Data Entry screen. Click the purple Data Entry button to add or change Line items entries. PO# allows you to record a purchase order number.
Designed to only work with the Products file, therefore you must enter each product there first.
Records to whom the artwork was consigned (the consignee), what pieces were consigned, and updates the inventory in the Products file accordingly.
If artwork is returned, it is returned to inventory. If it is sold, it is posted to an invoice.
