Consignor Bonus for Store-Credit Settlement - Give an automatic bonus to Consignors who settle for store credit. In Program Setup on the Consignors Screen, set the bonus amount in 'Bonus for Store Credit Settlement'. When 'Credit' is selected as the settlement payment method, the bonus is auto-applied. (not available with batch settlements)

On the Consignment-Credit-Sale Screen, Consignment Credit Sale is now auto entered as Payment 2 and is unchangeable (for payment method). If a settlement has been made for Store Credit, the amount of Available Credit will be displayed. Enter the remaining payment in Payment 1. If the total payment exceeds the amount of purchase, Change Due will be displayed.

Consignor Credit Sales

• Create a Store Credit by processing a settlement and selecting Credit as the Payment Method for the settlement. (See next section below.)
• Consignors may use their sales proceeds to make store purchases.
• Store Credit may be created before or after a sale.
• Pay out store credit by check or in cash.

I. Create a Store Credit by Processing a Settlement:

Of course in order to process a settlement, an item or items belonging to the Consignor must have been sold and payment completed. (Layaways may now be settled before the final payment is received.)

See Process a Settlement for One Consignor - Use the drop-down menu on the Settlement screen to select 'Credit' and enter the amount of the credit. In this example the Consignor's share of the sales proceeds is $20:

II. Process a Credit Sale:

Select the Consignor from the List of Consignors:

Select Consignor Credit Sale from the Consignors Menu:

Use any of these methods to select items being purchased:

Enter the Item ID.

Select an Item from a List.

Read a bar code.

Enter an Unlisted Item.

The New-Sale Screen will show  'Consignor Sale' in the Payment field. The amount of Credit available to the Consignor will be displayed in the 'Paid' field next to the date, in this example, '20' (for $20):

If the Amount of Purchase is greater than the Amount of Credit, the excess will be displayed in the Due field:

Collect that amount from the purchaser. To record the payment, check 'Choose Payment Method 2':

Click on the blue down arrow to the right of 'Choose Payment Method 2' and select a Payment Method ('Visa' shown below here) and enter the Payment Amount without the dollar sign ('87' shown here):

If the amount of purchase is less than the Credit, no amount will be due. A Credit Balance will remain for the Consignor and will be displayed as a negative number in the 'Due' field.

The remaining balance may be paid to the Consignor (See Pay One Consignor.) or the balance can remain on record to be used for future purchases or payouts.

Complete the sale.

View Consignor Store Balance and Store Credit

A Consignor's Store Balance and Store Credit are displayed by selecting the Consignor from the Main Table and viewing the Details Area:

This information may also be viewed by selecting the Consignor in the table and pressing Account History or Current Items (on the right in BCSS).

Pay Out Store Credit by Check or in Cash

Process: Make a Disbursement, record it and adjust the consignor's record.

Record the Disbursement

1. Go to the Disbursements Work Area and select New Disbursement.
2. In the Payee field enter the person's name (for your record. BCSS won't be able to use this to adjust his or her record though. That will have to be done manually.)
3. Under Category select Check or Cash Disbursement. (A check number will be displayed but it will be ignored if Cash Disbursement is selected.)
4. Complete the disbursement and press OK.

Adjust the Consignor's Credit Balance

• Double click on the Consignor's record to open the edit screen.
• Click on Account Status.
• Reduce the amount of Store Credit by the amount of the Disbursement.
• Click OK.
• With the Consignor still selected, click on Account History to verify that Store Credit and Account Balance are correct.

BCSS Accounting

Upon purchase using Store Credit, inventory is reduced, income is increased and the cost of the purchase is deducted from the Consignor's Account Balance.

Consignor purchases reduce Shop Credit. Reducing Shop Credit reduces the Account Balance.

Store Credit is the amount settled for credit minus In-House Purchases. As In-House Purchases use Store Credit, Balance Due plus Store Credit decreases.

Balance Credit is a manual adjustment. Positive/negative Balance Credit will subtract/add from/to Consignor Balance.
