-
Drop shipping to a customer order or job receives inventory into the receiving stock site and immediately delivers the items on the order or job. Inventory receipts are recorded, but inventory is instantly removed from inventory.
-
Use the Receiving Stock Site drop down menu to select the receiving stock site for the purchase order. By default, the stock site is the default stock site for the logged in store OR the stock site selected when using reorder alerts. When changing the receiving stock site, Evosus will ask if you want to set the Ship To Address to the new stock site’s address. This is not required, but is recommended. The receiving stock site can be changed until the purchase order is closed. NOTE: Changing the receiving stock site after items have been received will cause subsequent items to be received into the new stock site. All previously received items will remain in the former stock site.
Update Ship To Address
Click Update to change the ship to address on the purchase order or to setup drop ship to a customer order or job.
Ship To Address
By default, the Ship To address is the address of the receiving stock site; however, you can manually update the address as needed. Keep in mind that the receiving stock site will not change based on the address you enter. The receiving stock site is always selected via the Receiving Stock Site drop down and you will be prompted to change the Ship To Address to match the selected receiving stock site. The company name defaults to the name of the parent store of the receiving stock site; however, a system parameter is available to change the default to the name of the receiving stock site.
