Direct Delivery flag

Posted on by

When you flag direct delivery on a sales order line, does AX automatically create a purchase order to the primary vendor for the product?  If not what is the purpose of the flag?

Thanks.

    Hi RoDAXGal.

    As far as i know the purchase order has to be created manually. Therefore there is a button "direct delivery".

    As soon as you use this button a new form appears. If a primary vendor is available this information will be used otherwise you have to enter the vender number. In addition the delivery address from the sales order will be used as delivery address of the purchase order.

    If you do not use direct delivery the delivery address is your own delivery address.

    Hi RoDAXGal,

    I'm not sure if it creates the PO automatically, but it does need a primary vendor to be defined. The tick box and the two related fields arrived in AX at the same time as functionality I've heard called the Direct Delivery Workbench. You'll find more information about this functionality here:
