Consignor Contract Creation

Contracts can be generated in Liberty. Once it is generated, it can be saved and used over and over. Merge fields are available for generating a personalized contract for an account.
If you use Payment Logistics for integrated credit card processing, you can also capture their signature and attach it to the contract when the PDF is created. A copy is also uploaded to the cloud should you lose the local copy of the PDF.

From the Inventory Module select Setup > Consignor Contract Template.
