What is the industry best practice for invoicing customers for drop shipments? We are looking to have a 100% automated process.

What part are you struggling with?

 

On the sales order select mark for PO, and then select PO source drop-ship

Then you can create the PO from the sales order or you can create then in mass by using the “create Purchase Order” screen Screen ID: PO505000

Once a PO receipt is entered (when you receive the invoice) an invoice is automatically created on the sales order.

Hello @BenFoy ,

The first question would be if you are using a shipping software like Pacejet to process your shipments.

Also what is your process for drop shipments. For many companies you will need to process your order ASN (Advanced Ship Notice) thought EDI, so you will need to work with SPS commerce or Commerce Hub (Now Rithum).

I think the community will be able to help out if you give a better overview of your current process.

@BenFoy are you drop shipping from your vendors, or are you drop shipping from your warehouse for the end users? It’s not clear from your question.

We drop ship directly from our vendors to our customers.  We want to streamline the process.
