In case of consignment sales or job work, you will generally send or receive stock from third-party. In both the situations, you will need to maintain such stock separately from your regular stock movements. Using the Godown/Location feature in TallyPrime, you can manage such inventory and track the stock movement as per your business needs.
Inventory Sent To Third Party | Godown for Our Stock With Third Party
To track the inventory moving out of your business premises (from your godown, location, bin, rack, cabinet, and so on) for consignment sale or job work, use Godowns/Locations. In such cases, though the inventory is not stored with you, you will need to keep a record of the inventory sent and the closing stock in your reports will include the value of such inventory.
