Consignment sale overview for consignee
1C:Drive helps you manage and monitor consignment sales as a consignee.
Consignment sale process is a process where a company (a consignor) sends products to a counterparty (a consignee) so that the counterparty sells or uses them. The products are stored at the consignee's warehouse, but the consignor retains the ownership of the products.
The consignee can consume the products from that warehouse at any time. The consignor bills the consignee only for the quantity of products actually consumed. If the consignee sells the products, the consignor pays a sales commission for the products sold.
In 1C:Drive, as a consignee, you can do the following:
Processing consignment sales
To process a consignment sale, you (as a consignee) can use the following documents:
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| Goods receipt (with Operation set to Receipt from a third party) |
Records products receipt from a consignor. For details, see Receipt from third party. |
| Sale invoice (with Invoice type set to Invoice) | Records product sale to a customer. For details, see Invoice. Use this document if the consigned products are received for selling, not for consuming for your company's needs. |
| Account sales to consignor | Records the product quantity actually sold or consumed, the debt to a consignor for these products, and a sales commission due. For details, see Creating account sales to consignor documents. |
| Bank payment (with Operation set to Payment to supplier) |
Records a payment to a consignor by bank transfer for the products sold or consumed. For details, see Payment to supplier. |
| Cash voucher (with Operation set to Payment to supplier) |
Records a payment in cash to a consignor for the products sold or consumed. For details, see Payment to supplier. |
| Goods issue (with Operation set to Return to a third party) |
Records the return of consigned products that have not been sold or have not been consumed. For details, see Return to third party. |
For the detailed description of the process steps, see Consignment sale process for consignee.
The documents you create are stored in document lists. For posted documents, transaction records are available.
Using document lists
Document lists help you store and manage all the consignment documents that you create. You can quickly find and view them. In a document list, you can also:
- View document details
- Generate related documents
- Post documents
For details on how to view consignment documents, see the following:
- Viewing goods receipts
- Viewing account sales to consignor documents
- Viewing bank payments
- Viewing cash vouchers
- Viewing goods issues
Tracking transaction records
Transaction records are automatically generated when you post a document. Transaction records can include various details depending on the options that you set.
For a consignment sale, you can use the following options to track transaction records:
| Options | Description |
| Accounting settings | Set accounting by:
|
| Billing settings | Set billing by contracts. To apply the option, select the Contracts checkbox in a consignor's card in the Counterparties catalog. |
Specifying payment terms
A consignment sale is based on a contract concluded with the consignor. Payment terms are an intrinsic part of contracts. 1C:Drive helps you (as a consignee) register contracts and their payment terms including:
- Currency
- Payment method (for example, electronic or cash-in-hand)
- Payment type (for example, single payment or payment by installments)
- Pricing terms (for example, a price type)
To prepare a report for a consignor on the consigned products you sold or consumed and sales commission due, you need to create an account sales to a consignor document. In this document, when you specify a contract, 1C:Drive automatically prefills the payment terms from the contract. This ensures the sale goes in compliance with the contract. You are free to change the payment terms manually.
Recording sales commission
As a consignee, you can calculate and record a sales commission due for selling the consigned products.
To record a sales commission, use either an account sales to consignor document or a separate sales invoice. See the following table:
| Document | How to use |
|---|---|
| Account sales to consignor | In the document, on the Additional information tab, select the Commission is withheld checkbox and specify the sales commission details. To learn more, see Creating account sales to consignor documents and Additional information tab. |
| Sales invoice | In the document, set Customer to a consignor, set Invoice type to Invoice, specify the sales commission and its amount on the Products tab, and fill in other details as necessary. Then post the sales invoice. For details, see Invoice. Warning! If you use a sales invoice, ensure that you clear the Commission is withheld checkbox in an account sales to consignor document that records the products consumed. |
Analyzing consignment sales
1C:Drive provides reporting tools to help you (as a consignee) analyze consignment sales. For example, you can track the following:
- Products received from consignors and consumed
- Amounts due and paid to consignors
