Consignments

The 'Movements' module lets you manage artwork movements easily: consignments, loans and purchases.

Record artworks coming into and going out of your inventory, and print or send the corresponding documents.

Create a consignment

There are two ways to create a consignment:

• 'Artworks' > List > Select the artworks that make up the consignment > 'Tools' > 'Create consignment'*
• 'Movements' > 'Consignments' > 'New'

*Remember that, once you have chosen the artworks, you will need to select the editions of those that are not unique works.

Once the artworks have been added, or once you have selected the new option, a modal window will appear where you can fill in the consignment details.

General information

• Reference - A free field to enter a reference for the consignment
• From - Date the consignment starts
• Change location - Ticking this box opens a selector with the locations recorded in the system; you can also enter a new location by typing its name and then filling in the additional details from 'Your locations'
• Type - Incoming or outgoing
• to - End date of the consignment

Consignor and consignee

These two fields draw on the data entered in your account in the 'Artists', 'Contacts' and 'My Gallery' modules.

When entering the consignor and consignee details, type the name of your artist or contact, or the name of the gallery, so the form is filled in with the information held in those fields. If any information is incomplete or wrong, you can change it manually.

Agreement information
