Accounting for Consignment & Del Creder Commission | CMA Inter Syllabus
Table of contents
Business organisations with the intention of expanding their operations adopt different strategies. One of the common strategies involves the engagement of selling agents, technically referred to as entering into consignment agreement. Consignment is a special type of transaction in which one entity sends goods to another entity for selling the goods of the former for a pre-determined commission. In such an arrangement, the two parties are located in different towns or cities.
Three parties are involved in a consignment business – Consignor, Consignee and Buyer. The consignor sends goods to the agent (called consignee) for selling the same on its behalf to the buyers. It is a type of agency contract, where the consignor is the ‘principal’ and the consignee acts as the ‘agent’. Revenue from consignment business is recognised by the consignor on sale of the goods sent by the consignee. [AS-9]
Parties Involved in Consignment
The parties involved in consignment business are Consignor and Consignee.
Consignor
It is the party who sends the goods to its agent for sale of goods. The consignor may be a manufacturer or wholesaler. The consignor is the ‘principal’ in the principal-agent relationship of consignment business. The consignor remains the owner of the goods sent on consignment basis, till the goods are actually sold by the consignee.
Consignee
It is the party to whom goods are sent on consignment basis by the consignor. It sells the goods received on consignment basis and acts as the ‘agent’ in a consignment relation. It is to be noted that the consignee does not own the goods received on consignment basis. It is entitled to receive commission from the consignor as consideration.
Documents Related to Consignment Transactions
Consignment business requires certain specific documents for its operations. These documents are ‘Proforma Invoice’ and ‘Account Sales’. These are discussed hereunder:
Proforma Invoice
This document is issued by the consignor to its agent (i.e. the consignee) at the time of sending the goods. It mentions various details regarding the goods sent viz. quantity of the goods consigned, cost/ invoice price of the goods, expenses incurred in relation to the goods, minimum selling price etc. This document acts as an evidence of despatch of goods from the end of the consignor. Its format resembles that of a regular invoice.

Account Sales is a document which is periodically sent by the consignee to the consignor.
It contains details of the transactions entered into by the consignee on behalf of the consignor viz. sale proceeds realised, consignee’s commission, expenses incurred by consignee in connection with the consignment, amount remitted and any other specific communication (like abnormal loss of goods).
It is a post-sales document that formally conveys the developments of the consignment business (at the consignee’s place) to the consignor.
The consignor records the consignment related transactions in its books of accounts on the basis of this document.

Difference between Consignment and Regular Sales
Consignment | Sales | |
It is a business expansion technique | It is a primary business activity | |
This transaction is entered into by some entities. | This transaction is entered into by every commercial organisation. | |
The main parties involved are Consignor and Consignee. | The parties involved are Buyer and Seller. | |
The parties share ‘Principal-Agent’ relationship. | The parties share ‘Debtor-Creditor’ relationship | |
The ownership and risk of the goods do not pass to the Consignee. | The ownership and risk of the goods pass to the Buyer. | |
Expenses incurred on consignment are borne by the Consignor. | Prior to transfer of ownership of goods, expenses incurred are borne by the Seller. | |
Goods may be sent on consignment either ‘at Cost’ or ‘at Invoice Price’. | Goods are sold at Selling Price which is above cost price. | |
When goods are sent on consignment, the Consignor sends a ‘Proforma Invoice’ to the Consignee. | When goods are sold, the Seller issues a ‘Sales Invoice’ | |
The Consignee can return the goods sent to the Consignor. | The Buyer can not return the goods sold to the Seller, unless mutually agreed. |
Consignment Related Transactions
Goods sent on onsignment:
In consignment business, goods are sent by the consignor to the consignee for the purpose of selling the same. The goods are physically transferred, but the ownership, risk and the property in goods remain with the consignor. This transaction is recorded in the books of the consignor, but in the books of the consignee no accounting is done for the same. As the goods are sent out of the regular stock of goods, necessary adjustment is required to be made by the consignor against Purchases A/c or Trading A/c. The goods so sent on consignment may be recorded by the consignor either ‘at Cost Price (CP)’ or ‘at Invoice Price (IP)’. The IP is determined by adding a fixed percentage of margin (called the Load) over the cost of the goods.
Advance by consignee to consignor:
In consignment business, the consignor usually sends goods to the consignee after receiving adequate amount of advance from the consignee. Such advance money can be provided either through bank draft or the consignee may accept a bill of exchange in favour of the consignor. Such advance is later on adjusted when the money is remitted by consignee to the consignor. Sometimes, as per agreement between the consignor and the consignee, Security Deposit/ Caution Money is required to be sent by the consignee. In such case, the security deposit/ caution money, in proportion to any unsold stock, is retained by the consignor, and is required to be carried forward to the next accounting period.
Expenses on consignment:
The expenses which are specifically incurred in relation to the consignment business may be incurred either by the consignor or by the consignee.
Expenses by consignor: Such expenses are usually incurred for sending the goods to the consignee. Examples of such expenses include carriage & freight to consignee, packing charges, loading charges, export duty, transit insurance etc. These are non-recurring in nature, and are considered for valuation of the unsold stock lying with the consignee, goods abnormally lost and goods-in-transit.
Expenses by consignee: These expenses are incurred by the consignee are recovered from the consignor. The consignor does not reimburse such expenses to the consignee; rather these are adjusted against the amount due to the consignor (sale proceeds) in the Account Sales prepared by the consignee.
Expenses on consignment may be of two types – Recurring and Non-recurring. Recurring expenses are the expenses which are incurred on more than one occasion. These are usually incurred after the goods reach the consignee’s premises. Such recurring expenses include godown rent, insurance of godown, carriage outward, establishment charges, advertising & publicity, salary of salesmen, commission and other selling expenses. Non-recurring expenses are incurred only once and are generally incurred prior to reaching the consignee’s premises. Common nonrecurring expenses include unloading charges, dock charges, clearing charges, customs (import) duty, octroi, carriage & freight to godown etc. For the purpose of valuation of the unsold consignment stock and goods abnormally lost at the consignee’s premises only the non-recurring expenses incurred by the consignee are to be considered.
Consignment Sale: As per consignment contract, goods are sold by the consignee on behalf of the consignor. Such sales form the revenue of the consignment business. The sales may be made either on cash basis or on credit basis. The cash sale transactions are recorded in the books of both consignor and consignee. However, the recording of the credit sale depends on the fact whether del-credere commission is payable by the consignor to the consignee or not. Sale proceeds are generally collected by the consignee and then reimbursed to the consignor at the end of the specified period after making necessary adjustments like expenses by consignee, commission due etc.
Commission
It is the consideration for which the Consignee acts as r agent of the Consignor. It is to be noted that the commission is not directly paid by the Consignor to the Consignee. It is adjusted by the Consignee against the amount due towards the Consignor, and is disclosed in the Account Sales. Commission associated with a consignment contract may be of the following three types:
Loss of goods sent on consignment
The consignment business involves considerable movement and handling of goods. In this process, some goods may get lost. Such loss may be divided into two broad categories – Normal Loss and Abnormal Loss.
Normal Loss: The loss of goods which occurs due to the inherent nature of the goods involved is referred to as Normal Loss. It is by nature unavoidable loss and forms part of the cost of goods sold. Example: Evaporation of materials, spillage of liquid materials etc.
Abnormal Loss: Abnormal Loss of goods refers to those losses which are avoidable in nature. Such loss is not considered to be a part of the cost of goods sold. Example: Goods pilfered, goods stolen, goods lost by fire and other natural calamities etc. Based on the stage of occurrence of abnormal loss in a consignment business, such loss arising can be broadly discussed under two heads:
Valuation of Unsold Stock Lying with Consignee
During a particular accounting period, usually the consignee does not manage to sell all the goods received from the consignor. In other words, some of the goods received may remain unsold with the consignee. This is technically called referred to as Consignment Stock. Its ownership lies with the consignor, even though they lie physically with the consignee. Valuation of such consignment stock is necessary for determination of correct operating results of the consignment business. The valuation of unsold stock depends on the fact whether the goods sent have been recorded by the consignor ‘at Cost’ or ‘at IP’.
Valuation of Goods-in-Transit
The goods which have been despatched by the consignor, but are yet to reach the premises of the consignee are referred to as Goods-in-Transit. The ownership of such goods lies with the consignor, and at the end of an accounting period, such goods are required to be valued for the purpose of reflecting such goods in the financial statements. Such goods-in-transit are required to be valued after considering the expenses incurred by the consignor for sending such goods. It is to be noted that no expenses incurred by the consignee are to be included in valuing the same.
Accounting for Consignment
Accounting for consignment related transactions is done in the books of both Consignor and Consignee. These are discussed as follows:
Books of Consignor: The accounts maintained in the books of the consignor are:
Books of Consignee: The accounts which are maintained in the books of the consignee are:

Workings Note:
1. Calculation of sales and commission due to consignee:
Let total sales be ₹ X.
∴ Commission = 5% of X = 0.05 X
Now from Consignee A/c:
Final remittance
from consignee = Collection from Consignment Debtors - B/R received (as advance) - Expenses incurred by consignee - Commission due
Or, 4,11,650 = (X – ₹ 850) – 10,000 – 5,000 – 0.05 X
Or, 4,11,650 = 0.95X – ₹ 15,850
Or, 0.95X = ₹ 4,27,500
Or, X = ₹ 4,50,000
∴ 0.05X = ₹ 4,50,000 × 5%
= ₹ 22,500
2. Goods sent on consignment:
According to the problem:
Total Sales = Sales made at invoice price + Sales made at invoice price plus 10%
Let, sales made at invoice price = Y
∴ Sales made at invoice price plus 10% = 0.44Y
Now, total sales = ₹ 4,50,000 (Computed in WN:1)
∴ ₹ 4,50,000 = Y + 0.44Y
Or, Y = ₹ 4,50,000/ 1.44 = ₹ 3,12,500 (i.e. Sales made at invoice price)
∴ 0.44Y = ₹ 1,37,500 (i.e. Sales made at invoice price plus 10%)
Now, the invoice price of the goods which is sold at a higher rate [i.e. IP + 10% thereof]
= ₹ 1,37,500 × 100/ 110
= ₹ 1,25,000
∴ Invoice price of goods sold = ₹ 3,12,500 + ₹ 1,25,000.
= ₹ 4,37,500
∴ Cost of goods sold = ₹ 4,37,500 × 100/125
= ₹ 3,50,000
∴ Goods sent on consignment (at cost) = Cost of goods sold + unsold stock
= ₹ 3,50,000 + ₹ 50,000
= ₹ 4,00,000
∴ Goods sent on consignment (at invoice price) = Cost of goods sent + Loading @ 25%
= ₹ 4,00,000 + 25% thereof
= ₹ 5,00,000
3. Valuation of unsold stock:
(₹) | |
Cost of unsold stock | 50,000 |
Add: Load [ ₹ 50,000 × 25%] | 12,500 |
∴ IP of unsold stock | 62,500 |
Add: Consignor’s proportionate expenses [ ₹ 2,400 × 62,500/ 5,00,000] | 300 |
Consignee’s proportionate non-recurring expenses [ ₹ 3,200 × 62,500/ 5,00,000] | 400 |
∴ Value of unsold stock | 63,200 |
