Q. What do you mean by consigned goods?

FOB destination, freight collect - Seller acquires freight charges and buyer initially pays freight charges. Buyer deducts freight accusation from amount owed to seller. The buyer debits Accounts Payable in addition to credits Cash when paying the freight. The seller debits Delivery Expense as well as credits Accounts Receivable when informed of the freight charges. Therefore companies should include goods shipped to potential customers on approval in their inventories. Likewise companies shouldn't record consigned goods (goods delivered to another party who attempts to sell them for a commission) as sold goods. These goods remain the property of the owner (consignor) until sell by the consignee and should be included in the owner's inventory.
