BCSS Consignor Records are comprehensive yet easy to use. Each record can include a number of identifiers and notes, making Consignor Management easy, precise and thorough.

Missing Consignor Records - Inactive Consignor Records can be omitted from lists and reports by marking individual records as 'inactive' and unchecking 'Include Inactives in Lists' in Program Setup (Consignors tab).

Things to Know about Consignors

When adding new Consignors, always enter Consignor names as last-name-first. BCSS sorts the Consignor list based upon the name entered first.
The Consignor ID can start with part of or all of a Consignor's last name (and not numbers) to make sorting logical and item ownership apparent. Of course numbers can be used if preferred.
Set the default Consignor % (in decimal format; .4 = 40%) in File, Program Setup, Consignors. The Consignor % is the share of the sale for the Consignor, not the shop.
Create Consignor records (House Accounts) for shop-owned items and set the Consignor % to 1 (for 100%). Use several house accounts for different purposes.
Set the Consignor % for one Consignor by editing his/her record or by editing an inventory item record.
