We're processing drop ship POs that are created by a Sales Order. Everything works fine except often we would like to invoice the customer before we get a final invoice from the vendor. However, the SO can't be transferred to an Invoice until the linked PO is matched.
Anyone have a suggestion that will help us work around this?

Thanks so much - I've got an email into them and am waiting on a response.
Microsoft to the rescue!
There is an addon called 'Shipment Notification'. This tool will allow drop ship sales orders to be transferred to invoice prior to invoicing the purchase order. I think it sells for about $750. You need to get it from Tools support. They have flavors for 7.x, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0

Thank you both for the suggestions. I've also considered posting a PO match to create the payable using the values on the PO so that I can process the SOP invoice - and then when the "real" vendor invoice arrives, create an AP credit or debit adjustment.
It would be nice if there were some type of "ship confirm" option for drop shipments to get around this. I'll post that as a suggestion.
Unfortunately, this is the way the system is designed. And many others have asked the same question.
One solution I offer is to not actually use Drop Ship documents but use a Drop Ship virtual site. Sell from this site then manually (yes, it is not automatic) create a PO for the vendor to ship to your customer. You can "fulfill" and invoice the sales order at any time. It will take inventory in the Drop Ship virtual site down and the PO receipt will bring it up and they do not have to be coordinated, just watched. Costs have to be watched and if you are on other than standard cost you MUST receive at least part of the order from the vendor to get correct costs into the inventory to be taken to the invoice COGS posting.
It could be an option.....
You could create a dummy invoice outside the system. If you receive payment prior to creating the SOP invoice in GP, post the payment and leave it unapplied until the SOP invoice is posted. Then apply the payment to the SOP invoice.
