How to: Create Purchase Orders for Drop Shipments Indirectly

When you create a drop shipment, you must create a purchase order that links to a sales order. The purchase order can be created directly or indirectly.

To create a purchase order indirectly for a drop shipment

  1. In the Search box, enter Requisition Worksheet, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Drop Shipment, and then choose Get Sales Orders. The Get Sales Orders window opens.

    You can set a filter to select specific sales lines for the batch job to retrieve. If you do not set a filter, the batch job retrieves all sales lines that have a Drop Shipment purchasing code.

  3. Choose the OK button to run the batch job.

    The newly created purchase order proposal lines appear in the requisition worksheet. Note that the Action Message field contains the option New and that the Accept Action Message field is selected.

  4. In the Req. Worksheet window, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Carry Out Action Message. The Carry Out Action Msg. - Req. window opens. Choose the OK button.

  5. A message appears telling you that the purchase order has been created. Choose the OK button.

Note

If item tracking was assigned on the corresponding sales order, the Get Sales Order function will also copy the item tracking lines to the newly-created purchase order. To view them, on the Lines FastTab, choose ActionsAction Menu icon, choose Line, and then choose Item Tracking Lines. You cannot post a drop shipment order that has item tracking unless item tracking is synchronized. Serial numbers and lot numbers must be the same between the two related orders.
