Consignment Vendor

Consignment vendors have everything above plus:

Payouts tab — a table of all consignment settlement periods showing:

Column	Description
Period	Date range for the settlement (e.g., "Mar 1, 2026 — Apr 1, 2026")
Sales	Total sales amount from their consignment items
Vendor Payout	The vendor's share based on the split percentage
Store Revenue	Your boutique's share
Items	Number of consignment items sold
Status	Draft, Finalized, or Paid

Consignment Details sidebar — shows the split percentage (with "(default)" label if using the global setting), payout method, and payout username.

Consignment Split Logic

The revenue split percentage can be set at three levels. BridalOp uses the most specific one:

1. Per product — if a product has its own split %, that takes priority
2. Per vendor — if the vendor has a custom split %, it's used as the fallback
3. Global default — the default set in Settings > General > Consignment (used when neither product nor vendor has a custom split)

Where Vendors Appear

Vendors are referenced throughout BridalOp:

Products

When creating or editing a product, you select a vendor (for wholesale/purchased products) or a consignment vendor (for consignment items). The vendor name appears on the product detail page.

Purchase Orders

Every purchase order is tied to a vendor. When creating a PO, you select the vendor and add the items you're ordering from them.

Inventory

Inventory items inherit their vendor relationship from their product. This lets you filter and track inventory by vendor.

Consignment Settlements

When you create a consignment settlement (Consignment in the sidebar), you select a consignment vendor and a date range. BridalOp automatically finds all sold consignment items from that vendor during that period and calculates the split.

Reports

The Consignment report shows sales, vendor payouts, and store revenue aggregated by consignment vendor. The Inventory Summary report shows ownership type (store-owned vs. consignment) per product.

Global Search

Vendors are searchable from the Global Search — type a vendor name to jump directly to their profile.
