Understanding Additional Outbound Inventory Order Entry

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system provides different order types to accommodate specific ordering situations. Although you enter these additional outbound inventory orders in the same way that you enter a basic outbound inventory order, the system processes each order type differently.

You use outbound inventory direct ship orders to record the sale of an item that you purchased from another supplier. The supplier sends the item directly to your customer with whom you enter into an outbound inventory agreement. The supplier ships the item directly to the customer, and the system transfers the ownership of inventory to you (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user).

You use outbound inventory intercompany orders to fill an outbound inventory order from a branch/plant other than the selling branch/plant. Intercompany outbound inventory orders are helpful if the company places an order from one location but ships the quantity from another location, such as a central supply warehouse or a central distribution center.
