Drop shipment warehouse

Hallo
I have to create an A/R invoice (item type) not linked to a delivery. I want that no items go out of the warehouse (because they are already by the customer).
Can I use the drop shipment warehouse even if I haven't a purchase order linked to the sales document?
Thanks
Daria

Dropship WH is for, when the company does not manage inventory, but receives commission for every order. This kind of warehouses cannot be used for serial or batch items.
"I have to create an A/R invoice (item type) not linked to a delivery. I want that no items go out of the warehouse (because they are already by the customer)." Can you please explain this scenario a bit? Is it like you want to add an A/R invoice but you don't want your stock to get affected?
For the items which will be there in AR invoice are for those the company is not managing inventory, but receives commission for every order?

  • Change document serie when using a drop shipment warehouse

    Hey all,
    I have the following question:
    We have a customer wich has 2 document series related to purchase orders.  When we use a drop shipment warehouse in our sales documents the SAP system runs the procurement wizard to add a purchase orders related to the sales order.
    Now our customer wants to choose the correct document serie to post the purchase order in.
    I've already tested this with SAP 8.81 PL 08 but for the moment this is not supported.
    If you take a look at the MRP functionality, there is a possibility to change the document series when creating Purchase orders from the order recommandation screen
    Will this be on the roadmap of SAP?

    Drop-down lists work a little differently than expected; in the Change event the rawValue contains the previously selected text.  That's why it works the second time.  The current selection is contained in: xfa.event.newText

  • 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.

    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 Shipment:India Localisation

    Hi,
    Does Drop shipment work in the perspective of India Localisation taxes?
    If anybody has any experience in this, kindly highlight..
    Regards,
    Sayantan

    Prashant,
    Drop shipment is used in a scenario for example where you are in construction business and are constructing a warehouse/building and want to purchase materials like bricks for the building, you would purchase the brick from a vendor, however you would request the vendor to have the shipment go directly to the construction site rather than the your/contractor’s office who is buying the material for the construction.
    Therefore, it’s a shipment address that is not associated with master data.
    Hope it helps.

  • [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.

  • 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

  • Centralized purchasing operating unit in drop shipment cycle

    Hi all,
    In multiple operating units, is there a way to use drop shipment cycle with a central Purchasing Operating Unit?
    I mean creating sales order in OU 1, Importing Purchase Requisition and auto create Purchase Order in OU 2(Central Purchasing OU), and receiving in OU 1, then shipping from OU 1

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Drop-shipment PO from the Vendor to the Customer directly

    Dear All,
    Can anyone one advice any drop-shipment scenarios how the Standard SAP should look like?
    Thank you very much,
    Regards,
    Chee Wee

    Hi
    This is called as Third Party scenario.
    In this sales order is raised with proper item category due to which system automatically creates PR
    Then with referance to this PR PO is raised . Vendor directly delivers material to your customer and raises invoice on you . Who do MIRO posting for vendor .In this case GR is not done at our end but at customer end
