Drop Ship Sales Orders - need to know

Drop shipped orders result from Purchase Orders initiated by an incoming Sales Order. Your Supplier ships the products directly to your Customer. You invoice your Customer, and your Supplier sends you their invoice. The system can execute and track this entire process.

These types of Items can be set to trigger drop shipments:

• Stock

• Assembly Items

• Non-stock

• Service

• Charge

Use Shipments to track drop shipments?

Shipments track the journey of allocated from Inventory. Because drop shipments originate from your Suppliers you can configure your system to use Shipments so you always have a record of what was shipped.

Go to Setup>Configuration>Shipments

Click Edit.

Check the 'Allow Drop shipped Items' box and save.

See Shipments.

Set Item to default to drop shipped

On the Purchasing/Costs tab of each Item there you can set the default behavior of each Item to dropship.

Default Order Type	Standard
	Drop Shipped
	Special Order

When you add an Item set to Drop Ship on the Line Item table of a Sales Order or Sales Quote the letter ‘D’ will be displayed to the left of the Item Code. See 'Indicators'.

Set Dropship Item default Supplier

Preferred Supplier(s) can be stored on the ‘Preferred Supplier’ table on the ‘Purchasing/Costs’ tab on the Item Master. This table stores:

Supplier	A Supplier from your Suppliers List
Item Code	The Supplier’s part / SKU code. This code will appear on the Purchasing Documents.
Description
Unit Cost	The last cost. Manually entered.
Stock	Suppliers last known stock level
Minimum Order Quantity	The supplier’s threshold.
Average Lead Time	In days
Use on Docs	Use this data on Purchase Documents
Default	The default preferred supplier.

Change Item to Drop Ship, or a different Supplier

You can access and manipulate the preferred supplier from the Action ‘Preferred Suppliers’ on the Sales Quote and Sales Order Documents. This is useful if you need to Drop Ship a Standard Item (one you don’t normally Drop Ship).

When the Document is not in Edit mode

When you click the ‘Preferred Supplier’ Action, a modal (popup) window will appear:

Preferred Suppliers
Item	Supplier	▢ DS	▢ SO
ABC123	ABC Supplies	▢	▢
DEF345	DEF Supplies	🗹	▢

In the above example the Document has two line Items in the Line Item table. DEF345 is set to Drop Ship. The Preferred Suppliers for the Items are displayed as View only.

When the Document is in Edit mode

You can select and change the Item preferred supplier

Preferred Suppliers
Item	Supplier	▢ DS	▢ SO
ABC123	Preferred Suppliers ABC Supplies Available Suppliers DEF Supplies GHI Supplies	▢	▢
DEF345	▢	▢

Preferred Suppliers
Item	Supplier	▢ DS	▢ SO
ABC123	ABC Supplies	🗹	▢
DEF345	DEF Supplies	▢	▢

You can select and change the Item ‘Default Order Type’ . In the above example Item ABC123 is set to Drop Ship.

Set Preferred Suppliers costs on Sales Orders for Dropship and Special Order

Sales>Sales Order>Configure>Dropship/Special Order

The purpose of this control is to determine where the unit cost is derived and applied from, specifically:

• the unit cost specified on the preferred supplier table located on the Purchasing tab of the respective Item Master.

• the arbitrary cost on the Sales Order. A typical use case is where you are brokering the sale of an Item. You agree on a cost with the supplier, back to back with agreeing on a cost with the end customer.

• the unit cost specified by you on the respective Item Master
