Help · Sales, sections and consignors

A consignor is whoever brought the goods in. Take them in on the Consignors screen before you write their lots, so each lot can be filed against them.

The fields:

• Name is required, and is how the consignor appears on the lot and in the CSV.
• Consignor code is the code your cataloguing software knows them by, such as HOLLIS01: letters, numbers, dots, dashes and underscores, up to 20 characters. One code belongs to one consignor.
• Consignment reference is the house's own reference for the consignment, such as H-118.
• Telephone, email and address are optional. The email, if given, must look like an email address.
• Commission % is what the house takes, from 0 to 50.
• Settlement days is how many days after the sale the vendor is paid, from 0 to 180.
• Terms in your own words and Notes hold anything else, for example "no lot fee on furniture; delivery in by the Wednesday".

Each vendor is shown with their terms in one line and the number of lots on the book against them. Use Correct the terms to change any of it.

Lotdesk records the terms; it does not calculate or pay a settlement. Keep to what the job needs, since a consignor's details are personal data you are responsible for; see Who can see your book.

On the lot screen pick the consignor from the list. A lot written on a phone can only name a consignor already on the book, otherwise it is turned down with "not on this house's consignor list". In the CSV the Consignor column carries the name.
