When the Sales Order is Authorised
- Decide if you are going to manage the delivery (eg booking courier directly) or if your customer is.
- If you are organising delivery - enter the courier and booking number. The PO sent to the supplier will NOT have the end customer details showing.
- If the supplier is organising delivery = the end customer details will show.
- Update notes if required
- Send the PO to the supplier
Processing a Drop Ship Purchase Order
Drop Ship Purchase Orders are never 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 are not listed on the Stock Receipt Form. Drop Ship Purchase Orders that are to be delivered by your company will show on "Shipments in/out Dashboard"
Supplier Invoice Quantity
- You can update counts Manually if required.
- Status Menu (if status is received and there are lines in plan status) = "All counted. Any uncounted lines will default to invoice or order quantity. Create Invoice"
- All PO lines with a status of Plan and no Counted quantity will have the Counted quantity updated to the Invoice quantity, if any, or the Ordered quantity.
- All PO lines with a status of Plan and a Counted quantity will be set to Counted status.
- If there are any mismatches between Ordered and Counted quantities:
- If the sales order has not been invoiced then the Deliver quantity on the linked sales order line will be set to the PO Counted quantity. When the sales order is invoiced this quantity will be used.
- If the sales order has been invoiced then a text log showing the differences will be displayed so that the user can raise a credit note or invoice as required.
- The purchase order will be invoiced, subject to the usual matches between Ordered, Shipped and Counted.
Sales order Invoicing
- If a sales order has DropShip lines and it has no lines to be picked then the sales order will be invoiced after the DropShip purchase orders have been created (debtor is COD check removed).
- Right click on Drop Ship sales order line to open linked purchase order ( shows PO code and status )
