OxPOS Consignment Module: Rent, Commission, Settlements
Video tutorial: run a multi-vendor store with OxPOS consignment: vendor billing models, commission, monthly rent, VAT, delivery notes and settlements.
If your shop displays products from other vendors or home businesses, you need to know exactly what each vendor sold, what is still on the shelf and what you owe them. This ten-minute lesson covers the consignment module in OxPOS, from adding a vendor to settling their balance down to the last fils.
Two billing models
- Commission only: you keep a percentage of every sale.
- Monthly rent plus commission: the vendor pays shelf rent and you also keep a percentage.
OxPOS calculates the rent, commission and VAT automatically and shows the net amount due to the vendor.
Step by step
- Open the consignment module and review its tabs.
- See consignment items in stock. Vendor products appear in your inventory but are tracked separately from your own stock.
- Add a vendor and choose their billing model.
- Set the commission rate, monthly rent and VAT handling for that vendor.
- Record delivery notes when the vendor brings stock, and returns when items go back.
- Run a settlement for a chosen period. OxPOS works out what was sold and what is due.
- Review the payout breakdown: sales, VAT, commission, rent and the net amount due.
- Export the report to Excel for your records and to share with the vendor.
Why this module matters
- Consignment sales are tracked separately and don’t inflate your shop’s profit.
- Units sold are counted on a first-in, first-out basis for each vendor.
- VAT is kept separate: collected, remitted and VAT on commission.
- Each vendor has a clear balance: sold, still on the shelf, and payable.
- Reports are ready to export at the monthly settlement.
Who it is for
Multi-vendor showrooms, home-business exhibitions, permanent bazaars, and gift and craft shops in Dubai and across the emirates. For VAT questions about your specific arrangement, check with the Federal Tax Authority or your accountant.
