- 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.
