The BCSS Consignment Agreement

Two generic Consignment Agreements are included in BCSS. The 1st is for 1st-time consignors and prints on a full sheet of paper. The 2nd is a shorter version for repeat consignors. Two copies are printed on 1 sheet of paper.

When either is printed, BCSS auto-enters the shop's information (that was entered in Program Setup) and the Consignor's information (from the Consignor's record).

The 'body' of the 1st Agreement contains sample shop terms and agreements which may be changed.

The 2nd Agreement is a short form for recording any changed information (like new address, new phone number) and the number of new items consigned. It too may be edited.

Editing the 1st Consignment Agreement

On the Main Menu, click on Utilities and select Edit Consignor Agreement:

Make deletions, additions, changes and click Save and Exit when finished. The changes will appear when the next agreement is printed.

Copy/Paste text into the Agreement Editor.

Note that any line in the Agreement should not be longer than (approximately) 120 characters. Lines longer than that will exceed the right margin of the printed page.

The Agreement may be changed at any time. Past versions of the Agreement are not saved (but the content may be pasted into another document and saved).

Editing the 2nd Consignment Agreement

The procedure for editing the 2nd Agreement is different but fairly easy.

1. On the Desktop, click on My Computer then C: then Program Files then BCSS.
2. Click on addendum.txt. (This is the text file for the 2nd agreement.) Your computer should open addendum.txt in a text editor like WordPad or Notepad.
3. Make changes. Hold down the control key and press the S key to save changes.
4. Close the file. Changes will appear when the 2nd Agreement is printed.

Printing the Consignment Agreement

In the Consignors Work Area, RIGHT-click on a Consignor Record and select 'Agreement 1st' or 'Agreement 2nd' (or, for the first Agreement only, select the Consignor and Press 'Print Agreement' on the right).

A Print-Preview Screen will display the agreement with shop and Consignor information pre-filled.

Preview the Agreement and press the printer icon to print.

Windows Print Setup

The next screen to appear is the Windows Print Setup screen. (It should not be necessary to change settings under 'Setup' on this screen, except to assure that Orientation is 'Portrait'.)

The settings should be:

• Name: The correct printer name should appear here.
• Size: Letter
• Page range: Current page (or All)
• Orientation: Portrait (Never 'As Preview')
• Number of copies: Change '1' to '2' to print 2 copies.

When settings are correct, press OK to start printing.
