Notes
A drop-ship stock item is treated differently, depending upon whether or not it is stock controlled.
Stock controlled - the sales order goes into Awaiting Stock and the invoice is £0.00. This will wait here until the stock items are booked into stock even though they are 'virtual' for example if the supplier informs you that the goods have been despatched. The sales order is then processed and the invoice has the correct amount listed.
Not stock controlled - the sales order goes into released and has the appropriate price listed on the invoice. The sales order can be processed but will have zero amount of stock.
If a sales order has both drop-ship and in-stock items on and the drop-ship stock items are stock controlled the saved sales order will go into Awaiting Stock. However, if you wish to ship the in-stock items you can force the sales order through the system in the normal way and when it is issued a sales order for the drop-ship item/s will be created in Awaiting Stock.
Purchase orders that have been created must be processed in the normal fashion i.e. the items must be 'booked in' as this will release any stock-controlled items held in Awaiting Stock.
