Indicate an Ownership Change During Drop Ship

Specify when to change ownership during a drop ship flow.

  • When Order Management receives the advance shipment notice (ASN) from the supplier

  • Or when Financial Orchestration receives the accounts payable invoice from the supplier

You use the Supplier Ownership Change Event attribute on the Manage Drop Ship Financial Flows page to specify when to change ownership.

specify when to change ownership during a drop ship flow.

ASN From Supplier

If the supplier sends an advance shipment notice (ASN), then set the Supplier Ownership Change Event attribute to ASN From Supplier.

Here's the flow.

  1. The supplier sends the advanced shipment notice.
  2. Receiving creates receipt and delivery transactions that record the event for the advanced shipment notice.
  3. Receiving sends status and event details to Financial Orchestration and Order Management.
    • Financial Orchestration processes the trade transactions in costing, processes the receivable invoices between companies, processes payable invoices between companies, and so on.
    • Order Management sends status and event details to billing and order orchestration.

Communicate the ASN

The supplier can use actions on the supplier portal to create the advance shipment notice.

  • Create ASN

  • Create ASBN

  • Upload ASN

  • Upload ASBN

If the supplier uses an informal communication, such as email, to report the shipment of a purchase order that references a drop shipment, then the warehouse manager can also use these features on the Receipts page in the Warehouse Operations work area to manually enter the advance shipment notice. You can also upload an advance shipment notice electronically through XML or EDI. For details, see Roadmap for Setting up Supplier Portal and Overview of Creating ASNs and ASBNs.

AP Invoice Match

What happens if the supplier doesn't send an advance shipment notice, but instead sends an invoice?

  1. The supplier sends an invoice to accounts payable in Financial Orchestration.

  2. Financial Orchestration starts orchestration to receive costs and bill the shipment.

    The receiving process works the same way it does for ASN From Supplier, except the process doesn't create an advance shipment notice.

  3. Order Management receives and delivers the drop shipment when it creates the accounts payable invoice for the purchase order. It's the same purchase order that the drop ship references.

You don't need to do any set up for AP invoice match because the Transfer Invoice Details to Supply Chain Financial Flow Orchestration scheduled process automatically does the hard work for you. It sends data about validated invoices, canceled invoices, and corrected invoices to Financial Orchestration. For details, see Use an Improved Oracle Payables Invoice Match Flow for Drop Shipments.
