Drop Ship and Consignment Warehouses.

Hi Everyone;
What is the main difference between a Drop Ship and a Consignment Warehouse. As per my understanding example for Drop Ship warehouse would be ebay, as if some company wants to sell it s products it will use ebay as a drop ship warehouse.
Consignment warehouse only has a accounting effect when the products is sold. so example of consignment warehouse will be like Honda selling it s cars through it s dealers..so if a dealer in new york sold one Honda car only then it will have an accounting and warehouse effect in it s headquarters in Detroit and Ny.
Please correct me if i am wrong as i always get confused in this. I am preparing for my B1 certification.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin

Your understanding is correct.
In addition to that, following is as per SAP Help Document
Drop Ship
Select to define the warehouse as a drop ship warehouse. Use when the company does not manage inventory, but receives commission for every order.
Drop ship warehouses cannot be used for serial or batch items.
Inventory Transfers as Customer Consignments
If you deliver items to your customer in the form of a consignment, you can use this function to enter the inventory transfer from your warehouse to the consignment stores in the system.
When items are withdrawn from the consignment stores at the customeru2019s site, you create an outgoing invoice for the appropriate quantity and specify that the items be delivered from the consignment stores.
You have to create a storage location for the consignment to enable the consignment inventory to be managed separately from the rest of your item inventory.
If you maintain consignment inventory for several customers, we advise creating a consignment store for each customer so that the inventory for each customer can be monitored more easily.
You can then display the consignment inventory using the warehouse reports.

  • G/L A/C Determination for Drop Ship and Regular Ship of Same Item

    Hello Friends,
    We have a scenario,
    Stock is Sales order valuated stock
    For the same material, some times we do a drop shipment from vendor and some times we do a regular shipment from our plant.
    Being sales order valuated stock the GL account (On the PR generated from sales order) for drop shipment is getting picked up from BSX. (standard SAP)
    Our Finance team dont want the G/L account from BSX to be picked up.
    Because the BSX G/L account is a finish good G/L account and we dont want to use that for drop ship.
    How do we solve this issue?
    What is the standard process to get the G/L account if the same material is drop shipped and regular shipped?
    Thanks for your help.
    Thil

    Hi,
    The most common way to solve your problem is to use split valuation.
    This can be easily done. I you want to know how to use split valuation let me know I will detail steps you need to follow.

  • Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

    Dear All -
    We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
    Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
    Regards
    Mandar

    Vladimir,
    I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

  • Quantity appears in Sales Analysis Report when the Drop Ship Warehouse is used

    Dear Experts,
    We would like your help in the following case. We are using SAP Business One 9.0 (PL10)
    When a Sales Invoice document is added to the system using the Drop Ship warehouse, then in the report 'Stock Posting List' it does not display the document, which is correct since a Drop Ship warehouse is used.
    However, the report 'Sales Analysis Report' displays the Invoice, but it also shows the quantity that is used in the document, which is not correct.
    Why is this happening? Is there any setting that excludes the display of the quantity of the document from the 'Sales Analysis Report', when the Drop Ship Warehouse is used?
    Thank you in advance
    Kind Regards,
    Vassilis Korolis

    Hi Vassilis,
    Sorry, but in my opinion it's correct.
    We also use Drop Ship and like you said in the Stock Posting List we don't have any document and it's perfect. In other way when we sell an item we want and it's true the quantity that B1 is showing.
    We want to see the for a itemcode we sold 100qty qith the value of 1000.
    There's no way to avoid this SAP B1 behaviour.
    Kind regards,
    Augusto

  • [Discussion] Effects of a Drop ship warehouse

    Dear Experts,
    I have done some brief testing with Drop ship warehouses, I only realized when we buy in stocks into the warehouse, the warehouse does not record quantities due to "Drop ship", and when we sell items from that warehouse, the system does not perform any "Minimum stock level" validation..etc
    Apart from the above, is there any other effects and how we use Drop ship warehouse?
    Much Thanks in Advance for your participation!
    Chinho

    The main advantage to using the drop ship designation on a warehouse is that you don't need to enter Goods Receipt PO's or Deliveries - you can go directly to the invoice documents.  Also, there is no chance of having an inventory value on your books - even temporarily - when you don't really have that inventory in-house.  As you have seen, the disadvantages are that there is no average or FIFO cost for the items, and no valid gross margin calculation (unless you calculate by a price list).  There would be no purpose to using the negative or minimum stock validation, since there is never any stock in a drop-ship warehouse.  Some companies choose to use the drop ship functionality, and some don't.  I have one customer that uses a separate warehouse in each branch for drop shipments, but does not check the drop-ship flag.  Instead, they have a UDF on the warehouse to indicate that is is for direct shipments.  They can track drop ships that way without the disadvantages of the SAP functionality.

  • Edit back to back sales and purchase order with dropped ship warehouse

    Hi
    Our Client request to be able to edit back to back sales and purchase order with Drop Shipped WH which is frequently required according to their business nature in overseas trading.
    Kedalene Chong

    Hi Daniel,
    In the PO Ship To address field, the database/company address will appear until a warehouse is selected. Once a WH is selected, that is the address that will appear. If there is no WH address, the company address is indicated in the field (note: no company name just the address).
    If you want a different address/name, you can type it into the ShipTo address field and the PLD template will use whatever is in the field.
    If it is because there is no company name on the PO - does this mean you want a different company name than the one in the PO header. If this is the case and the ShipTo address & company name is always the same, you can update the PLD template by changing the ST address field to Text and enter the company name & address you want on the PO. This will appear on every PO regardless of what is in SAP. If you want the company name to always be the same, add a text field above the ST address field and fill in the company name; the address will be pulled from the PO Logistics ST field (per the first paragraph above).
    If this is not what you want, please explain in more detail what you would like to do.

  • Can Drop Ship Warehouse be Utilized for Commission Only Business?

    Our company has a small percentage of business where we act as a broker only.  We process the customer orders, send the vendor POs and monitor the shipments, but we do not pay the vendor or collect the payment from the customer.  The customer pays the vendor and then our company collects a commission from the vendor.
    The documentation in the help file for drop ship warehouse seems to imply that this scenario is possible:
    Drop Ship
    Select this option to define the warehouse as a drop ship warehouse. Use when the company does not manage inventory, but receives commission for every order.
    I have reviewed some webinars on Drop Ship warehouse.  The scenarios shown culminated in creating A/P and A/R invoices which is not what we want to do.  We are aiming for a Cashless transaction with commission being collected.
    I have setup the drop ship items to have commission by item with the percentage in the Item Master.
    Is this scenario possible in SAP B!?  We have ver. 8.82 PL 05.
    Thank you in advance.
    Julie

    Hi Julie
    try this:
    - one drop ship warehouse.
    - items with commisions, all with warehouse by default.
    - for these items you can create two prices lists, one with the sales prices and another with sales prices plus your commision.
    - create a sales order; when your customer receives it you have to close.
    - create a query to show you all closed sales orders between two dates, and the lines with two prices and the difference.
    - now you know your commisions.
    Kind regards.

  • Drop ship warehouse shows in stock quantities for some items

    We have a customer using SBO 2007 A SP 01 PL 08. The inventory posting report shows the drop ship warehouse with onhand balances. We have tried to create reversing entries to remove these quantities and the system ignores the transaction as it should. We are not sure how these balances got in the drop ship warehouse, but we need to get them out. Some quantities are negative amounts and some are positive amounts. What is the best way to remove these? They have zero inventory in the drop ship warehouse. This happened to six items out of 2600. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    These six odd items must have something in common. You need log a support message for the matter. It is beyond forum capability.
    Thanks,

  • Drop ship line did not split, the material have partial receipts, can the PR and PO be canceled?

    hello,
    I need some help with this issue. We have a drop ship line that have 270 cartons in status awaiting receipt, but in the inventory already received 624 cartons.  The line of that sales order needs to be closed now, to invoice the customer. But the PR and PO looks like OPEN.
    I tried to manually split the line in the sales order. To have two lines; one with the 624 already received, and other one for the 96 cartons left. But an error message shows when i do this.
    The error its :  You are not allowed to split Order Line because:Line is released to purchasing
    I found in the ORDER ORGANIZER when i chek the Sales Order, the ORDER SOURSE LINE REFERENCE the last line (which suppose to be splitted with the reception of the material) have a number lower than the line before it.
    example: line 2.5 have OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27231981  and line 2.4 OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27232315
    Can somebody help me with this?
    i also found a bug in meta link but i think something can be done. bug 2281449.
    Thank you,
    Paloma Cadena

    We had similar issues in the past. We solved them by doing a mini customization.
    The customization created an short-text attachment of the type "Note to receiver" at the PR level. The attachment included the Sales order # and line#.
    This attachment flows from the PR to PO and is also available to the receiving clerk during receipt.
    However, once the PO is received, we did not transfer the information to onhand. I don't think one can unless the item was serialized or lot controlled.
    Hope this helps,

  • Drop-Ship Warehouses

    Hi!
    I wanted to ask an opinion:
    1) You can use a Drop-Ship Warehouse in a credit note to pay the incentives for Business Partners (so as not to move the stock )?
    2) What problems could there be in the accounts?

    Hi,
    I guess ur questions will be answered better if posted in the SAP Business One Core forum(SAP Business One Application)

  • Drop-Ship Warehouse

    Hi!
    I wanted to ask an opinion:
    1) You can use a Drop-Ship Warehouse in a credit note to pay the incentives for Business Partners (so as not to move the stock )?
    2) What problems could there be in the accounts?

    The downside might be:
    1.  No transparency for you inventory movement.  What if someone made a wrong assumption to credit the wrong items they should be counted?
    2.  The essential problem might be: why do you need such transactions in the first place?  Is it something related to RMA?
    Please elaborate your business case so that we may have some other options.

  • Manual Orders and Automated Workflows/drop shipping notifications

    We have a customer that also sells on Amazon.com and eBay.  The issue we're having issue when they enter a manual order, there is not an automated workflow that is sent to the dropshipper to process the order for order fulfillment.  We need to know if there is a way when a manual order is entered, it will kick off the workflow to the dropshipper to make them aware of the order. Is there any way for Catalyst to integrate with eBay or Amazon customer purchases to be entered manually and kick off a workflow notification to the supplier who drop ships.

    Hi Mark,
    I can not see how this can be done, but to manually send the drop shipping email. I had a look at the 3rd party workflows as a possible solution but it doesn't look like it can be done that way. You may have to come up with an API solution for this requirement.

  • How to migrate Drop Ship PO and SO from 11.0.3 instance to R12?

    Hi Everyone,
    We are in process of migrating Drop Ship Orders from 11.0.3 system to R12 system?
    Can anyone help me in identifying how to migrate Drop Ship Orders?
    Is it possible to migrate Drop Ship PO and SO Separately and then link them through Drop ship sources table? How the reservation will work for this type of orders?
    Any guidelines will be really helpful.

    Hi,
    What I am currently planning to do is as follows:
    1) Migrate the Drop Ship SO
    2) Run the workflow background process which will progress the line (From Booked -> Awaiting Receipt) and insert the record in to Requisitions Interface and OE_DROP_SHIP_SOURCES Table
    3) Migrate the PO separately
    4) Update the record created through second step in Drop Ship Sources table with PO Header ID, Line ID and Line Location ID
    5) Receive against the PO
    6) OM Line is getting shipped at this stage once the receiving is done
    7) Delete the lines in Requisition interface table
    In this, the only custom thing we are doing is updating the DROP SHIP SOURCES Table with PO IDs.
    I am not able to think any other way to migrate Drop Ship SO.
    Please suggest, if anyone is foreseeing any problem in this approach or having any other approach.
