Some types of product are commonly sold through consignment. These include clothing, athletic equipment, furniture, musical instruments, art, and jewelry. For example, an artist might have five large pieces of artwork to sell but has no place to showcase the work for prospective buyers.
The different document types used in the consignment process are KB for consignment fillup, KE for consignment issue, KR for consignment return, and KA for consignment pickup. KB and KA are used when ownership is not changing, while KE and KR are used when ownership is changing and invoicing needs to occur.
