Redwood: Manage Drop Ship Financial Flows Using a New User Experience

A drop ship financial flow defines how ownership and costs are tracked during drop shipments, where goods are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer without passing through your organization’s inventory.

You can now set up and manage these flows using the new Redwood page. The redesigned page offers an intuitive, modern interface with enhanced usability features, including:

  • A streamlined search page to view all drop ship flows along with their status and other key details.
  • Search and filter chips to quickly find specific flows based on Selling BU, Requisition BU, status, and more.
  • Easy navigation to other financial orchestration flows through the in-app navigation pane.
  • Quick actions to correct or end date an existing flow directly from the search results.
  • The ability to add relationships between selling and receiving BUs or create new flows with a single click.

Tips And Considerations

  • Enable all pages in Redwood to ensure a seamless and cohesive workflow with a better user experience.
  • Set up a Shipment Financial Flow before you create a Drop Ship Financial Flow.
  • Agreements are now created in draft mode by default, allowing users to review and make updates before activating the relationship.
  • Use Correct when updating a financial flow. For example, to change the status or adjust future effective dates.
  • Use Insert to create a new version of the flow for a future period with different buy and sell terms.
  • Enhanced filtering ensures only Profit Center Business Units (PCBU) with valid relationships are available for selection, thereby reducing errors during setup.
  • You can view both the ADF and Redwood versions when accessing this page through Setup and Maintenance.
    • In ADF, the page is called Manage Drop Ship Financial Flows
    • In Redwood, it is called Drop Ship Financial Flows.
