The transaction type will automatically change to an SA, SS, or SN transaction, respectively, after pressing [Enter]. The item description field will now show a (*DS) at the end of either the Standard or Extended description field to indicate this item is a drop ship order. If there are enough blanks at the end of the description, the text *DS will be placed at the start of those blank spaces. If there are not enough blank spaces, the text will overwrite the last three characters in the description field.

If a drop ship purchase order has been generated for a specific invoice, and you attempt to edit/change/delete an ordered line item, a message box will appear warning that a purchase order has already been generated for this invoice. If you increase the Quantity Shipped of a line item, then a new Drop Ship PO will be generated for the amount of the increase. For example, if the original invoice was for five items and you increase it to twenty items, then a new Drop Ship PO will be generated for fifteen items. If the Quantity Shipped is decreased, and the Drop Ship has already been generated, then we recommend that you manually adjust that difference in the Purchase Order module. If you choose to decrease the amount of the Drop Ship, and the PO has already been sent to your vendor, you will have to make necessary arrangements with your vendor to adjust for the difference.

If a specific document number is entered (as opposed to * for all), you will be prompted to enter a document type (I=Invoice, O=Order). If there is only one document type for the document number specified, this document type will be the default for the prompt. You can also enter an asterisk (*) for this field to mean all documents with this number, regardless of type. An option to select Order/Drop will also appear. If you have enhancement SOF- Sales Invoicing Purchase Order on the Fly: You would have the option to list by items on order as well as items being drop shipped to your customers, otherwise you will only have the default option to see Drop Ship documents.

Once all the required information has been entered, the records matching the Item Number(s) and Document Number(s) will be added together. (If no * was entered, there will be only one matching record). The quantity to Drop Ship will be displayed along with the vendor name. If an asterisk (*) was entered for any field, there may be several matching records, so there may be more than one vendor. If so, the vendors will be listed and separated by commas.

After choosing to generate All or a Range of items for a purchase order, you will be prompted to review each purchase order or automatically generate PO's without stopping at each new order created. When you generate each purchase order, and you have Automatic PO Numbers set to (N) in Maintain Purchase Order Options, you will be prompted to enter a Purchase Order number for the new document being created. If you have Auto Numbering set to (Y) in Maintain PO Options, a number will automatically be assigned to all generated purchase orders.

If you choose to review each document, each newly generated purchase order will be available for you to edit with the same functionality that is available in Edit Purchase Orders. If the Print Default option (in Maintain PO Options) is set to "X", each PO will print or not print, according to the Always Force Print option (in Maintain PO Options). If the Print Default option is set to "Y" or "N", and if you choose "A - Automatically Generate PO's", you will be asked if you want to print your orders. If you review each purchase order, then you will be prompted to print with the same functionality as in Edit Purchase Orders.

Questions and Answers

Q: When I generate Drop Ship orders, why am I showing only 1 item on order when there should be more?

A: Check for a conversion factor in Maintain Inventory Items. (For example, if you have a conversion factor of 6 and you create an Invoice document for 6 items, then the quantity to be Drop Shipped will be 1.)

Q: When I run a list of items already ordered, why is there only a few or none of the items I have generated Drop Ship PO's for in the past with SDR?

A: If you purge your datafiles, all retained information for already generated purchase orders will be lost.

Q: When I print a list by Ship-To Names, why is my company ID appearing?

A: If you have enhancement SOF - Sales Invoice Purchase Order on the Fly, you will see the Drop Ship ID of your company as well as your customers.
