Hello, and welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog! Hope all of you are doing well and you business is thriving! Today I would like to talk about a feature in All Order's called Consignments. You might be asking yourself "What is a Consignment?" Consignment is the act of consigning, the act of giving over to another person or agent's charge, custody or care any material or goods but retaining legal ownership until the material or goods are sold.
We have a perfect feature in our system for this. To start a new consignment, go to Sales - New Consignment. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Before we get that started, you will want to make sure you set up the default location for the specific customer. You can do that by going to the customer screen, clicking the Shipping Info tab, and selecting that default location. You will want to make sure you set that location to the location where your quantity is. The reason why you have to set that up before is because only those customers with the default location set will appear in the drop down. Ok, back to the consignment. Once you add a customer and a location, all the items in that location will populate. You can use the filter tab to filter for a specific item on the list. This is where you will be able to pick and choose what item to send and how much QTY to send. You will enter this info under the ship doc column. Once you have selected that information, we can go ahead and go to Activities - Finalize. Now a Ship Doc will be created for that customer for those items. Next week, I will talk about how to get those item's that didn't sell back from that customer. Stay tuned!
Well, that is all for today. I hope you guy's have a great weekend! Remember if you have any questions, head over to our website. As always you can always e-mail customer support at support@numbercruncher.com or call us (866) 278-6243.
