 Buyer Fee: Deduct an amount from sales proceeds per item before splitting with the Consignor.

 Buy Outright: (Direct Purchase from Consignor): Buy items from Consignors. In BCSS such items are consigned items ready for Settlement. To pay the Consignor for the item, just process a Settlement.

 Consignor IDs Sort: Consignor IDs should always start with all or part of each Consignor's last name, but if numbers are used first, Consignors can now be sorted in numerical order.

 Credit Limit Displayed at POS: The amount of credit set in the Customer Record appears automatically when processing a new sale.

  Credit Purchases Deducted Automatically from Consignor Balance:

 Discount by Category: Any inventory category can have its own aged-inventory discount schedule.

  Disposal Codes: 'Secret codes' for 'destroy, donate and return' are printed on labels. Employees know the codes but customers don't.

  Double Click: on any record to open its Edit Screen.

 Inventory Classification: Use Inventory Groups and Sub-Groups to make Inventory Classification easy and exact. Four Groups are available, They can be named anything and each can have unlimited Sub-Groups. For example, a Group might be 'Manufacturer' and its Sub-Groups might be 'American', 'Ashley', 'Broyhill', etc). Then, when adding or editing an Inventory Item, the Manufacturer can be selected from a List of Manufacturers.

 Inventory List for One Consignor: View or print a list of inventory for one Consignor.

 Mailbox Feature:: Mark individual Consignors with notes of action to take at a later time and/or print and mail letters to Consignors. (In BCSS, select a Consignor, Edit, Mailbox; or right-click on the Consignor and select Edit Mail Box.)

 Non-Tax of Clothing Items below $50: Any clothing item sold for under $50 will not be subject to tax on the sales invoice. This includes items that may have been priced over $50 and subsequently reduced to under $50 from automatic or manual discounting. (Originally designed for stores in Connecticut)

 Pictures!: Add a picture of any inventory item to its record.

 Reminders: Be alerted to contact patrons (on a specific date or when they come into the store) and have notes for reference.

 Right Click: on a record for functions like edit, delete, etc.

 Settle and Pay One Consignor: No need to wait for 'batch settlements' and 'batch payments'.

 Taxes: Multiple taxes may be applied to each item and items can be made non-taxable below a stipulated amount. For example, clothing below $50 per item is not taxable in Connecticut.

 Undelete Inventory: Restore the record of Inventory Items that have been deleted.

  • - Mark Consignor Records with a specific date then view or print a list of Consignors for that date only.

 User-Defined Inventory Groups: Inventory is 'categorized' by designating a 'category' for each item. Set up Groups (like color, size, style and brand) and Sub-Groups (like red, green, blue and white, for color) for each category and select from those options when adding or editing an inventory item.

 User Text: 'User Text' can be any text added to a Consignor or Customer Record to uniquely identify the Customer. The text might be a single word (like 'best'). That word could be added to the 'User-Text Field' of the store's best customers, then a list can be generated to only include those customers, for example.
