How You Set up Drop Shipment Order Fulfillment

Before you can process procurement transactions for drop shipment (drop ship) items, you must perform setup tasks for the procurement offering, suppliers and agreements.

Perform the following procurement-specific setup to support transactions for drop ship items:

Enable the Customer Sales Order Fulfillment feature.
Set up suppliers and supplier sites for your drop ship items.
Set up blanket purchase agreements for your drop ship items.

How You Enable Customer Sales Order Fulfillment

In the Offerings work area, enable the Customer Sales Order Fulfillment feature in the Procurement offering, in the Procurement functional area.

How You Set up Supplier and Supplier Site

You must set up suppliers and supplier sites for your drop ship items. Do this in the Suppliers work area, Manage Suppliers task.

Use the Sites tab to create each supplier site within the context of the procurement business unit which provides procurement services for the site.
Each site must have the Purchasing check box selected, to specify the site fulfills the purchasing function for the client (requisitioning) business units.
For each site, use the Site Assignment tab to assign each client (requisitioning) business unit for which the site fulfills the purchasing function.

How You Set up Blanket Purchase Agreement

You must set up blanket purchase agreements for your drop ship items. Do this using the Create Agreements task, in the Purchase Agreements or Purchase Orders work areas.

In the agreement line, Item field, enter the drop ship item.
Optionally, you can select the following check boxes to support the automatic creation of purchase orders (PO's) from requisitions. Do this on the Controls tab, in the Order Creation Options region.
- Automatically generate orders
- Automatically submit for approval
Also in the Order Creation Controls region, select the following check boxes. This enables the grouping of requisition lines with the same sales order number, to be placed on a single PO.
- Group requisitions
- Use customer sales order

For more information about setting up drop ship order fulfillment, see the Oracle Supply Chain. You can define buyer assignment rules that direct automatic routing of requisition lines to the most appropriate buyer for processing. The application uses the rules to assign buyers to requisition lines, when requisitions you create online or import are submitted for approval.

Define buyer assignment rules using the Manage Buyer Assignment Rules task, in the Setup and Maintenance work area, in Purchasing Foundation functional area.
