There is a relation between accounting preference and item behavioring as drop ship or special order type in a transaction.
- If we unmark the Accounting preference “INCLUDE COMMITTED QUANTITIES” in Order Management>Drop Shipments & Special Orders.
- Item of Drop ship type (check Drop ship checkbox and it says to set preferred vendor and add the purchase price) = SO will autogenerate the PO on approve
- No matter in line level Locations are configured or not.
- For item (with stock/ without)
- Item not drop ship type (But with or without a preferred vendor for the item) = SO will not autogenerate PO and also not have the Dropship/spec order link on item lines
- here if the Location in Line level is absent then the line will show the item as back ordered no matter if has on hand quantity or not. If we configure the line level locations then the item commits >> We can rely to the NS standard option ie. to enable the “Automatic Location Assignment” feature to set the line level locations.
- Item of Drop ship type (check Drop ship checkbox and it says to set preferred vendor and add the purchase price) = SO will autogenerate the PO on approve
- If we mark the Accounting preference “INCLUDE COMMITTED QUANTITIES” in Order Management>Drop Shipments & Special Orders.
- It will ALWAYS show Dropship/spec order link on SO lines – no matter if has item has stock or of drop ship/spec order type. Only if both Drop ship and Preferred vendor with Purchase price added to item then the PO will auto generate.
