We currently use SOP Holds to manage our Sales Orders releases (which are ready to ship and which are nto ready due to payment hold for instance).
We often have multiple shipments on a single Sales Order. If the customer has enough credit to cover the entire Sales Order, there is no problem. But when a customer has a credit limit, we manage the release of product by taking all holds off (the SO), shipping the first line (or whatever is destined for the first shipment date), and then putting a Hold on again. We understand that by using Fulfillment Orders, the SOP Holds would apply to each Fulfillment documetn (one per shipment date if we manage it that way).
We also ship directly from a contract manufacturer. We are looking at implementing drop-ship PO's (DSPO) to facilitate the reality of our shipping process.
In looking at both these options, it is not clear that we can transfer a Sales Order to both a Fulfillment Order and a DSPO. Are these two features not compatible? Would we be able to transfer a Sales Order toa Fulfillment Order, and then create the DSPO from the Fulfillment Order?
Any advice on this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Jocelyn
