134Hello,
We are using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and would like to ask for advice on the most appropriate item costing method for items that are usually processed as drop shipments.
Our scenario is as follows:
-
A Sales Order is created and marked as Drop Shipment.
-
A Purchase Order is generated and linked to the sales order.
-
The item is shipped directly from the vendor to the customer.
-
Ideally, the cost posted to the sales transaction should come directly from the linked purchase order so that the margin reflects the actual purchase cost for that specific order.
Given this setup, what costing method would be most suitable to ensure that the sales order retrieves the correct cost from the associated purchase order?
Would Specific costing be the recommended approach in this case, or would FIFO still work reliably for drop shipment transactions?
Any insights or best practices would be appreciated.
Thank you.
