05 June 2013 This form of sale take place where principal-agent relationship exist.
No sale is recorded by principal unless the goods are sold by agent on behalf of principal.
Turnover of principal is sale value of goods and that of agent is only commission income.
It is shown in the stock of principal disclosing separately in notes the amount of inventory held under consignment.

06 June 2013 If Payment is received in full after sale, it means (in my opinion) that risks are transferred. So sale can be booked.
Subsequently if part goods are returned it can be termed as sales return. Original recognition will not be altered.
