Consignments - Vendors Property

Consignments are so important to the process of running sales, & therefore Snoofa comes with a powerful system for creating, edited & using Consignments. Let's get started with looking at the Consignment Detail page.

MAIN NAVIGATION > Consignments

Consignment Detail Page

How-To Understand Detail Page

We are going to start by explaining a Consignment Detail Page, starting top left & going to bottom right. The below image shows the top line, left to right, & the table below explains what you need to know about the fields contained.

Consignment Detail Top

Form Field	Explanation
Consignment Number (aka CA Number or Just Consignment Agreement)	In the above example, the Consignment Number is #10002, each time a new Consignment is created, it will be given a new unique number by the system. You can choose this number on creation should you wish, including also using letters. But we recommend keeping to numbers only, so the system can remain consistent and incremental.
Name of the Client (Vendor) of the Consignment	In this example, the Clients name is Archie Harrison. The name is also a link, that can be used to bring up a side bar of the Clients Account, giving their address & other details, which can also be edited from the side bar.
Status / Settings of the Consignment	This gives you a quick view of what the statuses / settings of the Consignment are. In the example, you have LDL:Yes (Loss & Damage Liability), & IC: 5% (Introducer Commission of 5%).
Actions Drop Down Box	A drop down box giving you various actions you can perform, dependent on where you are within Snoofa. In this example, it would enable you to mark Items as sensitive, or generate labels.
Button Options	These buttons allow you to perform particular tasks, e.g., Edit the Consignment, Edit the Vendor, etc. Very much what the button labels suggest.
Search Filter	Enabling you to search & filter the Consignment, helping you do your job quicker.
Add New Item +	If you wish to add a new Item, just hit the + plus sign & Snoofa will enable a new row at the bottom of your current list, for you to fill in as needed.
Show / Hide	Clicking this button will bring you a drop down list, which allows you to choose what is shown of each Item on the datagrid below. E.g., you could untick Revenue Rate, which would remove the column showing UK VAT Rate, in our example images.

Consignment Detail Main

Form Field	Explanation
Select Tick Boxes	These allow you to select all or specific Items, to perform certain actions on, e.g., removing from the Consignment or adding to a Sale.
Datagrid	The various columns that show you what you need to know. Remember you can edit what it shows, using the Show / Hide drop down list, described & shown above. The Datagrids columns of information, include Item Number, Auctions Item is in, Title, Reserve Price & much more.
Action Symbols	On he right the Action column contains symbols that allow you to perform specific actions on the Item they rest along side. These actions include, moving the Item to a different Consignment, deletion, & managing its charges. Once a change is made, the symbols will change & the action choices will become to not save or save the change you made.
Add New Item +	If you wish to add a new Item, just hit this + plus sign & Snoofa will enable a new row at the bottom of your current list, for you to fill in as needed.
