Consignment Inventory
Consignment inventory refers to items not owned outright by the store but rather by consignors who agree to a consignment contract. These contracts typically involve the store taking a revenue split, charging a flat fee per month, per item, or a combination of these arrangements. This inventory type is used by a variety of stores, including consignment shops, antique malls, and supplier/dealer malls.
Converted Inventory
Converted items fall between consigned inventory and store-owned inventory. The store retains the full proceeds from sales, but these items do not possess all the attributes of store-owned inventory.
Store-Owned Inventory
Store-owned inventory refers to items entered in the inventory tab rather than in a "House" consignment account. These items may be acquired in various ways, but the store retains the full sale amount. Retail, wholesale, and buy-outright stores typically manage this type of inventory.
Supplier Inventory
Suppliers can be assigned to both consigned and store-owned inventory. They do not affect revenue splits or fees and cannot be paid out. Supplier accounts can be used to track the origin of retail, wholesale, or estate sale items, allowing for easy reordering when needed.
