Add a New Consignor

Import Consignor Data - Records for Consignors may be edited or created in BCSS in batch by importing data from a spreadsheet. Please see Data Import.

Hide Old Consignor Records - In the Consignor Work Area, select Batch Deactivate. Set a date and click OK. In Program Setup (Consignors tab) uncheck 'Include Inactive's in Lists'. Deactivated consignor records will not appear in drop-down menus and BCSS tables.

To add a new consignor, select 'New Consignor' from the Consignor's Menu (or press F2).

Use the Consignor's last name (and initials if necessary) for the Consignor ID (to make sorting of Consignor Records logical and to make ownership of inventory items easy to determine).

Complete as much information as desired. Check whether to send mailings and/or sales reports. These settings and many others may be used later to generate specific lists of Consignors for address labels, reports, etc.

Set a different Consignor % if applicable (in decimal form, .4 = 40%) and choose how to dispose of unsold items (donate, destroy, return, transfer to house account (shop ownership).

A Consignment Agreement may be printed.

Click OK to save the new Consignor Record.

If entering more than one consignor, press F2 or press 'Save and Continue' to add another record:

User Text

(This feature is available in BCSS Deluxe, Diamond and Virtual.)

Any 'string of characters' may be entered as 'User Text' to uniquely identify (and later find) a Consignor or group consignors. Spaces are ok but commas and apostrophes will be removed by BCSS.

For example, enter 'best' in the User-Text field for your 'best Consignors'. Later on create a Report and use 'best' as the 'search word' or 'report filter'.

Only one 'string of characters' may be used per Consignor Record. It is possible to create more than one Consignor Record for the same person to use more than one User-Text identifier.

User Date

Enter a date in the Consignor Record and use the date in the same way to tag (flag, mark) buyers' records. For example, if you want to contact 6 people on 8/7/2009, enter that date in the User-Date field in each buyers' record then create a report on or before that date using 8/7/2009 in the User-Date search.

Requested Space relates to Mall Floor Space Rental.

Edit a Consignor Record

Double-click on a Consignor to open the Consignor Edit Screen. Make changes and Click OK to save changes and exit, or click Save and Continue to save changes and continue editing the same record.

Edit a Consignor Account Balance

Click on the Account Status tab to view and/or edit Store Credit, Balance Credit, and last dates for Update, New Item, Sale and/or Settlement.

The first entry, Account Balance, cannot be edited (which is why it is 'grayed out').
