I don't know about that aspect, but I think it will not be wise for a company to assume that an account will be uncollectible just because a customer suffered a plant explosion. That's my understanding in this scenario.
Gotcha–I read it as their plant exploded, they will have no sales and therefore they can't pay their debt. We should at least accrue something for the bad debt because they are a major customer of ours. Confusing accounting scenarios. Ha.
I believe the cost to ship the goods to the consignee would be at the expense of the consignor so I think it would be a reimubrseable costs, not to be expensed in the consignee's books. So I would book a receivable from the consignor and Credit Cash?
