How to make a Consignment Sales entry?
Answer
The Principal (Consignor) sends the goods to the Consignment Agent (Consignee) to sell the goods on Consignment basis.
The Agent creates the items at ZERO Cost and receives goods under a Receipt Note Voucher without any Tracking Number.
On making a sale, the Consignment Agent prepares a Delivery Note without Tracking Number to indicate delivery of goods to the end customer. The Consignment Agent informs the Consignor to raise a Sale Bill to the customer.
This transaction does not show the value of the goods in the Consignment Agent's stock, but provides the information on the stock movement.
Finally the Consignment Agent raises a Debit Note/Invoice on the Consignor (Principal) for commission or services rendered.
