Japanese to English Bus/Financial Accounting Retail stores' sales and purchase of goods for sales.

A case a retail shop purchase particular goods, but withhold payments until those goods are sold. When they are sold, the retail stores pay to the manufacturers and/or the whole sellers.

Retail stores buys considering the possibilities of goods returns so that this method is not favored, but this is well practiced in Japanese retail stores as well as department stores. (I believe this is seen in Korea, as well).

I googled and got a result of purchase digestive. But, I am not too sure if purchase digestive is correct.
