Consignment Invoice Template

Consignment sales invoice with commission split. Example: $2,000 sales, 60/40 split = $1,200 to consignor.

What a consignment statement and invoice covers

• The consignment agreement it falls under, and the period being settled
• Each item sold, with its SKU or stock code, the date sold and the price achieved
• Items still on hand at the end of the period, and items returned
• The agreed split, applied and shown as a calculation rather than a single net figure
• The commission retained, stated as an amount, not only as a percentage
• Any agreed deductions — card fees, freight, markdowns authorised by the consignor
• The net amount payable to the consignor, and when it will be paid

Who invoices whom, and why it matters for GST

Consignment trips people up because the goods were never bought. Depending on how the agreement is written, either the consignor is selling to the customer and paying you a commission, or you are buying at the moment of sale and reselling. Those two structures produce different GST treatment and different documents. Decide which one your agreement actually describes before you set the template up, and get it confirmed.

• Show the gross sale, the split and the net separately — a single net number is unauditable
• Reconcile to stock on hand each period, or discrepancies compound silently
• State clearly whether the amount shown includes GST on the commission

Keeping the stock record honest

• Reconcile physically at least once a quarter, not only on paper
• Record damage and shrinkage against the item, with the date
• Agree in advance who wears the loss on unsold, unreturnable stock
