This step-by-step guide describes how to create a consignment order type transaction. A consignment order transaction is used when receiving inventory from a supplier for sale on the supplier's behalf. Inventory can only be received against a consignment order in a receiving event. See How to Receive Against an Order for more information.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Navigate to the transaction page from the main menu: Shipping > Transactions
  2. Click the + Add Consignment Order button.
  3. Enter an Order Date, Ship Date, and Delivery Date for your order.
  4. Optionally select a Status.
  5. Optionally specify a Consignment Order No. This is a unique transaction identifier. A unique number is automatically generated for you.
  6. Optionally specify a Reference No. If this consignment order is intended as a linked transaction leave this field blank as it will be overwritten. See How to Create a Linked Transaction for more information.
  7. Optionally select a Supplier. If this consignment order is intended as a linked transaction the Supplier must be a linked contact. See Linked Contacts for more information.
