Drop Ship

In rental businesses, to save time and transportation charges, you might want to ship items on a purchase order or a transfer order directly to the customer place without receiving it into the inventory.

The users also have the option of having the required minimum information of the transaction for future references. If user selects the Drop Ship checkbox in the Purchase order, R2 considers the item as having been shipped directly from the vendor to the customer.

To mark an item on a transfer order as drop ship

1. Open a Transfer Order linked to an Order.

2. Click on the Shipping tab of the Transfer Order.
