Finding the Purchase Order Related to a Sales Invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi:

An end user is drop-shipping purchase orders and has invoiced her customers, accordingly.

How can she tell what purchase order and purchasing invoice is related to a sales invoice?  

I don't know if she necessarily created the sales invoice directly from the purchase order.  She may have entered the two transactions separately.

Thanks!

John

    Hi

    I have no real need here: I just wanted to highlight that except the fact that you can setup purchasing code now, I don't know how a drop shipment process can be used without knowing it is on going. As you need to post the purchase receipt to get it shipped... this is specific process, so not sure how user could do that without knowing this is actually related to drop shipment.

    As shared, only thing I see is that purchasing code can be setup at item card level.

    Kind regards

    Hi Jerome!

    What is it that you need to know?  I'm confused.

    Hi

    With recent business central version, I know that you can add purchasing code at item card level, so maybe this setup has been used related to drop shipment process.... but... you cannot get this involved and run the sales part without running the purchase part when dealing with drop shipment. I mean the purchase receipt is the sales shipment, so they are connecting... not sure how we could proceed here without knowing this..

    Hi Jerome:

    The end user claims that there is a PO attached to the sales invoice's sales order.  And, she says that their sales order lines somehow "default" to being drop shipped.

    Yet, I see a sales "shipment" document for this sales order.  Is it still possible that there is a drop shipment in place?

    Hi

    Does it mean that she created a purchase order and changed the ship to to customer address, purchased and invoiced, and then created a sales invoice later on? We have no connection here, did she set sales order to drop shipment process?

    Kind regards

    Jerome
