What is Drop Ship Order?
To understand the Drop Ship Order, take the
following example.
ENT1 - Seller Enterprise, ENT2 - Seller &
Buyer Enterprise.
Node1 - Belongs to ENT1 , Node2 - Belongs to
ENT2
Item1 - Present in ENT1's inventory
ENT1 and ENT2 are two
different legal entities. ENT2 wants to sell and ship Item1 to it's
customer.
ENT2 directly ships the item1 from Node1, instead of procuring
it to Node2 and then ship it . This is a 3PL scenario. Here the chained order
is created between the two organizations (ENT1 and ENT2) . ENT2 purchase item1
from ENT1, but ship it from Node1. This transaction creates a
Purchase order
and takes the sales order to Chained Order Created. One has to create
this
chained order manually by using api. Purchase order is called Drop Ship
order. Document type is 0005, Purchase Order.
