2nd Inventory location - no HQ license.

We have a 2nd location that is selling merchandise for our store. We send
them inventory monthly. They sell, collect cash, pay sales tax to govt.
They send us a check monthly that consists of revenue less their commission.
We need to track the inventory sent to them, track unsold inventory received
back to our store and record the merchandise sold so that our inventory is
relieved and we can pay our consignment vendors. The 2nd location does NOT
have RMS.

I can create a department and move merchandise to that department when it is
transferred to/from. Not a prefect solution but it would work. Addition
problem is on merchandise that is carried in both locations simultaneously.

The volume is low so I'm trying to avoid buying and implementing HQ at this
time.

Any ideas would be helpful.

What about setting them up as a customer and charging them a discounted
price. You would have sold the inventory so it would be taken off yours, you
can return anything they do not sell which will add it back in, it will also
keep track of the exact money owed to you.

Seems too simple so I'm probably missing something! :)
