QuickBooks Accounting for Consignment Sales [one possible strategy based on a suggestion by RichardTorian]

1. Create the consignor as a vendor.
2. Enter consigned goods in inventory (do not use Cost data field).
3. Create a Purchase Order for the item and enter a zero cost here.
4. Receive the item with a zero cost.
5. Attach the item to a liability account (the consignor’s share). When item is sold, split between the liability account and an income account which is your commission.
