Inventory

To create a consignment item

The Items List window should be displayed.

1. Click New. (Creating items)



2. In the Item # field, enter text to identify the company or person for whom you're selling the item. (For example, if you're selling an item for the Lee Corporation, you might enter LEE in this field.)



3. Enter the name of the item in the Name field. (You may want to use the word "Consignment" as part of the name to help you remember that this is a consignment item.)

If your company has many items in stock, your list of items is probably long. You may prefer to enter items and sort your item search lists alphabetically by the items' names instead of by the items' numbers. If you want to use this alternative, in the Windows view of the Preferences window, mark the preference Select Items by Item Name, Not Item Number.

4. Mark the "I Sell This Item" box and enter an account number in the Income Account for Tracking Sales field.



5. Enter any additional sales information that you want to record on the Item Details tab.



6. At this point, you've entered the item's basic information. Click OK to add this item record to the Items List,

If you wish to enter additional information, continue creating the record using the procedure To add a new item.
