Creating Purchase Orders for Drop Shipments Directly

When you create drop shipments, you must create a purchase order that links to a sales order. The purchase order can be created directly or indirectly.

To Create Purchase Orders for Drop Shipments Directly:

  1. Open the Purchase Order window.

  2. Press F3, and then press Enter to create a new order with a new document number.

  3. In the Buy-from Vendor No. field, select the vendor that will ship the item, and then click OK.

  4. On the Shipping tab, in the Sell-to Customer No. field, enter the number of the customer that is on the sales order.

  5. Click Order, Drop Shipment, Get Sales Order. The Order - Sales List window appears.

  6. Select the sales order that you will use to create the purchase order, and then click OK to create the purchase order.

Note

The sales order line on the sales order must have a purchasing code of Drop Shipment.

If item tracking was assigned on the corresponding sales order, the Get Sales Order function will also copy the item tracking lines to the newly-created purchase order. You can view them under Line, Item Tracking Lines.

You cannot post a drop shipment order that has item tracking unless item tracking is synchronized - serial numbers and lot numbers must be the same - between the two related orders.
