Drop-ship an order

The vendor ships straight to your customer; no stock moves and the customer is invoiced when the vendor confirms.

  1. Mark an item Drop-ship by default with its vendor, or send a sales order line with fulfilment drop-ship.
  2. Confirm the sales order, then press Order drop-ship lines from vendor. One purchase order per vendor is raised, shipping to the customer's address.
  3. When the vendor ships, record it on Drop-Ship Orders with Vendor has shipped, or let the vendor send a ship notice from the portal or an 856.
  4. The sales order line is marked delivered, cost of goods sold is booked against GR/IR at the vendor's price, and the customer invoice draft is raised.
  5. Match the vendor's bill as usual; it three-way matches against the pass-through receipt.

A drop-ship purchase order cannot be received into your warehouse and its sales order line cannot be picked. Direct-ship from another of your own plants uses the ordinary delivery from that warehouse.
