Drop Ship Between Subsidiary Companies
Scenario:
Our Business has 2 sister companies where SAS is handling clients and sales orders and BV is handling stock, purchases but also some local clients.
Using BizCentric we wish to implement the following workflow.
- Client contacts SAS
- SAS generates a Sales order.
- SAS turns the SO into a Purchase order for BV.
- BV receives PO > SO from SAS
- BV Fulfils order from Stock to end-client.
- BV Invoices SAS
- SAS pays to BV.
- SAS invoices end- client and bills
Answer:
You can manage this scenario by using Drop Shipping feature of BizCentric. Check following link to learn how it functions in BizCentric
Steps:
- For the SAS Company, initiate a Sales Order for the Customer, ensuring to mark “Drop Shipping” for the item.
- Add BV as a Supplier for the SAS Company. Generate a Purchase Order (PO) corresponding to the Sales Order.
- When creating the PO, designate BV as the Supplier, while specifying the client’s address as the shipping address.
- SAS will generate a Purchase Invoice since they are responsible for payment to BV.
- Subsequently, against the original Sales Order, SAS will issue a Sales Invoice for the Customer and create a Payment Entry at a later stage.
- BV will add SAS as their Customer.
- They can then generate a Sales Order to record income in their accounts. Create a Delivery Note for the Customer and generate a Sales Invoice for SAS.
