Consignment Settings are located within the Settings menu in the Back Office. Get there by selecting the Settings icon in the top right corner while logged into the Back Office.
Then find and select the Options Tab along the top and scroll down to the Consignment section.
Expire Days
This is how long after the start date that an item will expire.
Additional Store Credit %
The percentage added to the existing consignor split if store credit is used. If a consignor has a payout of $50 and the additional store credit was set to 10% they would receive an additional $5 when using store credit.
Split Style
For a location, you can choose between a Flat Store Split %, or a Tiered Store Split schedule which allows you to define different consignment split percentages for ranges of prices.
Store Split %
This is the default setting for what percentage the store will get from an item when sold.
Consignment Grace Period Days
The period of time after the expiration date that a consignor can sell or pick up their item before it converts to store inventory.
Items At End of Grace Period Will
Choose whether you want items to expire after their expiration date or convert to store inventory.
If you choose the "Expire" option, items will go into an "EXPIRED" status. If an expired item sells, the consignor will still get credit for the item. If you choose the "Convert To Store Inventory" the items will go into a "CONVERTED" status. Should a converted item sell, the store receives the full amount of what the item sells for and the consignor will not be credited for the sale.
Minimum Payout Amount
This is the default amount of money you owe a consignor before SimpleConsign will allow you to payout a consignor when doing bulk payouts. This can be overridden at the time of payout.
Accept Consignor Payments
This gives you the ability to take in payments from a consignor should they have a negative balance.
Ignore $0 Entries
In the Account Activity window for a consignor, this setting will hide any entries for sold items that the consignor will get $0.00 for.
No Consignor Sale Notification
This option gives you choices to be notified when selling one or more items that are not consigned.
The options are:
1. No warning - None
2. Warning popup - Alert
3. Block the transaction from completing - Block
Payout Report Note
A note that will be added at the bottom of each payout report.
Memo Pricing
This allows you to set a dollar amount(not %) that the consignor will get no matter what an item sells for when entering consignment inventory.
Memo Pricing Sets Do Not Discount
Check box if you want the Do Not Discount checkbox to be checked automatically when Memo Pricing is checked while adding inventory.
Apply Discounts to Items Converted to Store Inventory
This allows items that convert to store inventory to discount based on your Discount Settings. Visit our Discounts feature page for more information.
Show Extended Item Info in Account Activity
By default, account activity and payout reports only show an item's name, brand, color, and size fields. Turn this feature on if you want to also display the item number and category as well.
Consignor Contracts
Use this feature to manage your consignor contracts.
Allow 0 Quantity Consignment Items To Be Sold
Check box if you want to allow consignment inventory to be sold even though it's zero quantity. This is similar to how store owned inventory works when it sells at zero quantity. The software will quickly increase the stock to allow the sale of the item(s).
