Drop-ship an order
The vendor ships straight to your customer; no stock moves and the customer is invoiced when the vendor confirms.
- Mark an item Drop-ship by default with its vendor, or send a sales order line with fulfilment drop-ship.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
