Drop Ship Purchase Orders are never normally not received by your warehouse - they are received by your customer.  Proof of delivery may come from either your driver doing the delivery - or a courier company providing POD.

...

Drop Ship Purchase Orders that ARE to be delivered by your company (delivery method) will show on "Shipments in/out Dashboard".  Examples are "Drop ship via Warehouse" purchase orders.

Drop Ship Purchase Order Landed Cost

A drop ship purchase order can have an attached landed cost calculation to enable a clear understanding of your costs.  As the product never passes through your warehouse this is not used to update average cost

   1. If linked PO is a drop ship PO generated from a sales order:
      1. Show sales order code as a link to open the sales order.
      2. If sales order customer uses foreign currency:
         1. Show the currency code and the exchange rate from the SO.
         2. Add 2 columns showing 'Landed cost (ea)' and 'Total landed cost' converted to the SO customer's currency using the SO FX rate.
2. On a sales order line with SupplierShip YES, if the generated PO has a Landed Cost Estimate then add a context menu option to open the Landed Cost.
   1. If the landed cost has charges then 'Calculate and show apportions' and switch to the Results tab.
