How To: Use the Company Name on Dropship BO/POs
Table Of Contents
When creating a dropship Back Order/Purchase Order (BO/PO), Khaos Control can use the Organisation entered on the sales order delivery address as the company name on the dropship purchase order.
This applies to dropship BO/POs created from both:
- Imported sales orders
- Manually created sales orders
When the dropship purchase order is generated, Khaos Control checks the delivery address on the original sales order:
- If an Organisation has been entered against the delivery address, that value is used as the company name on the dropship purchase order.
- If no Organisation has been entered, Khaos Control uses the customer's company name, which is the default behaviour.
This can be particularly useful when shipping directly to business premises, warehouses, schools, hospitals or other locations where the organisation name differs from the customer's account name.
Enable the Feature
- Tick Use Organisation as Company Name.
- Click OK.
- Close and restart Khaos Control.
The setting will take effect the next time dropship purchase orders are created.
How It Works
Once enabled:
- Create a dropship BO/PO as normal. For guidance, see How To: Create a Purchase Order for a Drop Ship Item.
- Khaos Control checks the delivery address on the originating sales order.
- If an Organisation has been entered on the delivery address, it is used as the Company on the dropship purchase order.
- If the Organisation field is blank, the standard customer company name is used instead.
Example
Delivery Address Contains an Organisation
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Customer Company | ABC Supplies Ltd |
| Delivery Organisation | Central Distribution Warehouse |
The dropship purchase order will display:
Company: Central Distribution Warehouse
Delivery Address Does Not Contain an Organisation
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Customer Company | ABC Supplies Ltd |
| Delivery Organisation | Blank |
The dropship purchase order will display:
Company: ABC Supplies Ltd
Additional Information
- The setting only applies to dropship purchase orders.
- The organisation name is taken directly from the delivery address on the originating sales order.
- If no organisation is provided, Khaos Control continues to use the customer company name as normal.
- Khaos Control must be restarted after enabling the system value before the change will take effect.
