Before adding Consigned items, you must [[accountmanagement1:creatingnewmaint|create an account]] for the client whose merchandise you plan to sell.

===== To Add Consigned Items =====

  - In Liberty Inventory, Lookup the [[accountmanagement1:lookupaccount|account]]. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6201.png|NewItem6201.png}}
  - Go into the account and select any of the following:
    * Click on the **Add Inventory** button, which is located on the left side of the screen. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6200.png|NewItem6200.png}}
    * You could also click on the **Task** button, then select **Add Inventory**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6199.png|NewItem6199.png}}
  - The **Item Entry** window will display, and you will be in **Add Mode**. The cursor will be in the **Process** **Date** field. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6198.png|NewItem6198.png}}
  - Fill in all the required fields, and the optional fields as needed. \\ Use the <Tab> key to move from field to field while on a particular screen: use the mouse only to move from tab to tab (e.g. to display the Auction Detail tabs). As much as possible, don’t use the mouse - it’s much faster to keep your hands on the keyboard! See [[inventorymanagement1:speedingitementry:enteritemsfaster|How to Enter Items Faster]] for more information on how to enter inventory more efficiently and quickly.
  - Press the **<Tab>** key until the **Save** button is activated (look for a dashed line just inside its borders) Press **<Enter>** button. The item is saved, and the cursor will be positioned in the Category field ready to enter the next item. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6197.png|NewItem6197.png}}
  - Continue adding as many items as necessary. As you add the items will appear at the bottom of the screen in the **Grid**. Note that the **Grid** only shows the items you are currently adding. To see all items, go to the **Account** screen. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6196.png|NewItem6196.png}}
  - When finished adding items, click the **X in the Add Items Tab**. This will return you to the **Account Window**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem6195.png|NewItem6195.png}}

Note: The lower part of the **Item Entry** window displays a list of items entered. This is known as the **Item Entry** **Grid**. The **Grid** is empty when you first come into the **Item Entry** window. The **Grid** only displays those items entered while in the **Item Entry** display. When you exit the **Item Entry** window the **Grid** is emptied.
