Notifying Consignors

When an order is received for a consigned item, the consignor must be notified.  Consignor Sale Notification emails let the consignor know what was sold and how much it sold for.  To send a notification, use SixBit's built-in Consignor Sale Notification Email.  Refer to Customizing Consignor Notifications which explains how to edit the Consignor Sale Notification if you would like to make changes to the email that is sent.

Consignor notifications may be sent out manually or automatically.   Consignor Sale Notifications can be sent out automatically once a payment has been recorded.  Refer to Customizing Consignor Notifications for information on setting up automatic consignor notifications.

Once a consignor has been notified, the Consignor Notification Sent flag will be set and the Date Consignor Notification Sent will be set to the current date.   The Consignor Notification Sent column in the grid or the message in the right hand sidebar indicates if the notification has been sent.   To help identify the consignors that have not yet been notified of sales, use the  Consignor Not Notified view.

To manually send consignor notifications:

1. Open the Ship Orders mode.         How?How? From the Mode selector in the lower left, choose Ship Orders.
2. From the grid, select the orders for which an email will be sent.   
3. Click the Consignor Notification button from the Email group on the ribbon bar to open the Email Preview window.  An email for the selected orders will be generated and displayed. The email can be modified from the original template.
4. Click Send or Send All to send the email(s).

When a Consignor Notification has been sent, it will be flagged as having been sent.  Occasionally, the consignor notification flag may need to be manually set.

To manually set/clear the consignor notification flag:

1. Open the Ship Orders mode.         How?How? From the Mode selector in the lower left, choose Ship Orders.
2. From the grid, select the order that will be modified.
3. Right click and select Consignments|Mark Consignor as Notified or  Consignments|Mark Consignor as Not Notified.
