Specify Dropship Address – An Overview
When an item needs to be procured against a sale order and to be delivered to the customer directly, Sales Order Management System (SOM) can make use of a concept called “dropship" available in purchase module. In the "Dropship" concept, a purchase order can be released on a vendor to supply the items directly to a customer. Sales generates a Purchase Request (Dropship category) through Dropship sales order. Against a dropship purchase request, "dropship" purchase orders can be released from Purchase.
The Items delivered to the customer are acknowledged by DropShip Receipt component and the liability is created for the same. "Dropship" is a concept, where the items are procured against specific customer requirements and delivered directly to the customer, like in a typical trading environment. Dropship Purchase Order is one that can specify that the ordered material be sent directly to the Customer of the buyer or a third party instead of being delivered to the purchaser.
Any material, requested in Purchase request and subsequently ordered in a Purchase order, normally takes one of the following routes namely Movement to a Warehouse or Direct Movement to Cost center .In Dropship these steps are avoided since the goods are never physically received into the company. At the time of PR/PO stage, shipment address to which the vendor has to deliver the materials can be specified. On generation of Purchase order, the vendor is informed about the shipment details. Since the material delivered to the customer has to be accounted, the DropShip Receipt component acknowledges the same
In a "Dropship" category PR/PO, the entire ordered quantity should necessarily be sent to the customer and cannot be received in a warehouse.
