Drop ship is a feature to send an item directly from your vendor to your customer and the item is not processed in your inventory. By going directly to the customer, drop shipments streamline your inventory by keeping a low inventory asset total and reducing the order-to-delivery cycle time.
You can drop ship inventory items and non-inventory for resale items.
SETUP ITEM RECORD
Items you resell can be automatically ordered and shipped directly to your customers from your vendors. When you mark an item for drop shipment, any approved sales order for that item generates a purchase order.
You can drop ship these item types:
- Inventory item
- Non-inventory for resale item
- You can mark an item as a Dropship item by checking the Drop Ship Item check box in the item record. so whenever we place the item in the sales order it will be automatically considered as a dropship item.
Select a preferred vendor and purchase price in the item record under vendor subtab od Purchase/inventory Tab
CREATE SALES ORDER
- When a sales order is created with this item, it will automatically consider this item as a drop ship item. In the item line on the sales order, there is a column called Create PO. In that, you can see the Drop shipment option selected automatically.
- After approving the sales order a PO will be created to the preferred vendor with shipping address as the customer address and purchase price as mentioned in the item record. It is possible to change the vendor by editing the PO. The status of the Purchase order will be “Pending Receipt”.
