A report will be printed alphabetically by title for all items that are on consignment for all customers.  It will include "Item Number," "Title," "Author," "Date," "Consignee Number," "Quantity," "Price," and "Extended Price."  "Total Units" and "Total Retail" will be shown at the bottom of the report

• You may go back into "Scan Returned Items" and make changes as needed.  If changes are made after a file has been created for ringing up the sold items, you will need to go to the "Create POS Files" option and create the PO'S. file again.

• Enter the "Consignee Number" and select Continue.
• The file(s) created can be rung up at POS.
• If changes are made to the consignee after the POS file has been created, you will need to re-create the file before items are rung up at POS.  This will change the first file(s) created.

Note:    Each file created may contain only 200 line items.  If you have more than 200 line items, another file will be created and continue until all line items are included in a file.

Note:  **IMPORTANT** - After creating a file that can be rung up at POS, you MUST delete the consignee from the system or delete the individual items.  This will take the items out of the "On Consignment" field and add them back into the "On Hand" field.  When the items are rung up at POS, the number of items sold will be taken out of the "On Hand" field.

To ring up items sold on consignment:

• Enter <AUTO> at the "Item #" field and press <Enter>.
• At the message window, select "Consignment Sale" and enter the file number (not to be confused with the Consignee Number) that was created in SLOC for ringing up a consignment.  The items left on the consignment will be automatically rung up.
• The cursor will return to the transaction "Item #" field so you may add/change the sale.
• You will need to ring up each file that was created by the "Create PO'S. Files" option in SLOC.

Note:   Only items on inventory will ring up on the consignment.  If an item is on the consignment that is not on inventory, a window will be displayed telling you, "The item xxxxxx is not in your store’s inventory. Try again.....".  Write down the item number and ring it up manually with the correct price after other items have been rung up.
