Creating Drop Ship orders
Some Items are not usually held in stock and can only be ordered when required by the supplier.
In this recipe, we will enter an order for a special Item not held in Inventory and raise a purchase order to the supplier to deliver the goods directly to the customer.
Sheepwall Inc. wants to purchase an ACME Special Laptop (PRD20006). We don't hold stock for the Item in Inventory, but we order it directly from Acacia Office Supplier, who will send it directly to our customer.
In this recipe, we will also use the Quick Sales Order Entry form to enter the sales order.
