Entering a drop ship order

Note: Intrastat records are not created for drop ship orders. If you are not shipping orders to a customer's location, then create your location in Location (IC02.1) and transfer the items to create Intrastat records.

A drop ship order lets you order the customer's order from a vendor, then have the vendor deliver the goods to your customer. This procedure explains how to create a drop ship order:

See Entering a customer order.

Add a customer order.
Click Options for an item to open Line Options (OE13.1).

Note: If you do not enter vendor information, then the primary vendor becomes the default.
On the Shipping tab, select Y (Yes) in the Create PO field.

Note: You can also define these options by selecting a Drop ship order type when you add the order.
On the Shipping tab, select Y (Yes) in the Dropship field.
Select OK.
If you want to add freight charges or add-on charges, then click Order Opts. Then define freight charges on the Freight tab, or define add-on charges by clicking Add-ons.

Freight charges can be passed on to the purchase order in the form of a purchase order add-on charge. To do this, ensure that the freight code you use has been set up with a purchase order add-on charge.
Release the customer order.
