Promise Sales Orders in Your Drop Ship Flow

Drop ship is a supply chain & manufacturing technique where the seller relies on a supplier or contract manufacturer to build, store, and ship an item to your customer.

You can use Global Order Promising to help fulfill a drop shipment.

Here's what you need to do:

• Create the global sourcing rule that Promising will use to identify suppliers who can fulfill the drop ship, then select one of them to do it. Specify the supplier calendar, supplier capacity, and supplier lead times.
• Create the assignment that Promising will use to assign the item to the sourcing rule that you just created.

• Go to one of the Supply Chain Planning work areas, then click Tasks > Maintain Supply Network Model. In the Search Results area, click View > Columns, then display the Drop Ship Validation Organization attribute. Use the Drop Ship Validation Organization attribute to create a validation organization for your drop shipment.
