Consignment sale overview for consignor

1C:Drive helps you manage and monitor consignment sales as a consignor.

A consignment sale is a process where a company (consignor) sends products to a counterparty (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 consignor, you can do the following:

Process consignment sales
Specify payment terms
Record consignee's sales commission
Analyze consignment sales

Specifying payment terms

A consignment sale is based on a contract concluded with the consignee. Payment terms are an intrinsic part of contracts. 1C:Drive helps you (as a consignor) 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, wholesale prices)

To record a consignment sale, you need to create an account sales from a consignee document. In this document, you can specify a contract, 1C:Drive automatically prefills the payment terms. This ensures the sale goes in compliance with the contract. You are free to change the payment terms manually.

Recording consignee's sales commission

A consignor needs to calculate and pay a sales commission to a consignee for selling the consigned products.

To record a sales commission as a consignor, use either an account sales from consignee document or a separate supplier invoice. See the following table:
