DROP SHIP Order Flow in oracle apps

• Drop Ship is mere similar to Back 2 Back order except the supplier directly ships the order to customer rather than our inventory.
• Below is the flow chart for your reference.

All steps are similar except two changes:

• Source type as External in sales order line
• Import source as ORDER ENTRY while executing Requisition Import

STEP 1: SALES ORDER CREATION

• Let’s start with placing a new sales order.

• Follow similar steps as Back 2 Back orders.

Progressing Supply Eligible

• Running Workflow Background process.

• Now the status of the sales order line will be Awaiting Receipt.

STEP 2: Requisition Import

• As discussed before, mention Import Source as ORDER ENTRY as below.

• From here we follow P2P cycle.

Querying REQ, PO, taking Receipt as below.

• Corresponding # created:

Sales Order	10008
Requisition	15951
PO	6606
Receipt	23708

• Now if you check the status of the sales order line it will be shipped.

• Run the workflow background process.

• The status will be closed which means the order has directly been shipped to customer rather than transferred to our inventory.

Different line Status of the Sales Order:

SL NO	PROCESS	BACK 2 BACK METHOD	DROP SHIP METHOD
1	SALES ORDER BOOKING	SUPPLY ELIGIBLE	SUPPLY ELIGIBLE
2	PROGRESSING SUPPLY ELIGIBLE	External Req Requested	Awaiting Receipt
3	CREATING REQUSITION	External Req Open	Awaiting Receipt
4	CREATING PURCHASE ORDER	PO Open	Awaiting Receipt
5	TAKING RECEIPT	Awaiting Shipment	SHIPPED
6	After  Performing O2C CYCLE	CLOSED	Not Applicable directly send to the Customer CLOSED
