Set Collaboration Relationship Drop Ship

Use the Set Collaboration Relationship Drop Ship scheduled process to enable drop shipping for existing collaboration relationships where the ship-to organization matches the ship-from supplier site that's associated with the organization.

A drop-ship collaboration relationship requires the ship-from supplier site to match the ship-to supplier site that's associated with the organization. When you search for order forecasts, the drop-ship collaboration order forecasts are aggregated at the ship-to organization level. For example, if you have three order forecasts with the same ship-from supplier, with an item each for 500 items going to a different ship-to customer, you will have a single collaboration order forecast of 1500 items for the supplier to commit. Using this scheduled process will evaluate and enable the drop-ship setting for these existing collaboration relationships.

When to Use

Use the Set Collaboration Relationship Drop Ship process to synchronize any drop-ship organizations with Supply Chain Collaboration relationships when those relationships were created before the 22.10 release. Any relationships created after that release will be assigned automatically.
