Items to drop ship
This section displays all orders that have at least one product assigned to the "drop ship" warehouse. To send a drop ship request to your supplier, you must select the appropriate supplier from the dropdown menu, enter the buying price (optional), and click on the "Apply" button.
The supplier dropdown menu is divided into two parts:
1. Associated Suppliers: This section displays the suppliers that are associated with the particular product. You can manage these associations by going to the "Purchasing" tab and selecting "Product/Supplier Association."
2. Other Suppliers: This section displays a list of all other available suppliers.
When you select a supplier from the dropdown menu, the buying price will automatically update based on the price in the product/supplier association. By properly selecting the supplier and entering the correct buying price, you can efficiently send drop ship requests to your suppliers. Performing the above action will move the dropship order to Pending shipping label/Pending internal validation tab.
Mark the Generate shipping label check box to generate the shipping label for the order.
Pending shipping label
To enable the shipping label generation for dropship orders, you need to follow these steps:
1. Go to the "Purchasing" tab and select "Suppliers" from the dropdown menu.
2. Click on the required supplier.
3. Head to the "Dropship" tab and set "Yes" against the "Require shipping label" dropdown.
Once the "Apply" button is clicked in the "Items to Dropship" tab, the dropship order will move to the "Pending Shipping Label" tab if the above-mentioned setting is enabled for the supplier.
In the "Pending Shipping Label" tab, you will find three action buttons with the following functions:
1. Create Label: Clicking on this button will allow you to choose the required shipping method and generate the shipping label.
2. Upload Label: Here, you can upload the shipping label and manually enter the shipping cost and tracking number.
3. Cancel: This will move the dropship order back to the "Items to Dropship" tab.
After generating or uploading the shipping label, the dropship order can be moved forward to the "Pending Internal Validation" tab.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the shipping labels for your dropship orders are generated and processed.
Pending internal validation
This tab is used to internally validate and approve dropship orders. After validating the dropship order internally, you can click on the "Confirm" button under the "Actions" column to move the order to the "Pending Supplier Validation" tab.
This action will forward a mail to the supplier's email address, where he can accept or cancel the dropship order.
Pending supplier validation
This tab contains drop ship sent to supplier, for which you expect the supplier approval.
In the email sent to the supplier, the link topurchase order PF and dropship dashboard will be attached. By clicking on the Drop Ship dashboard link, the supplier can view the list of dropship orders to be approved. Under the Actions column, the supplier can select the Accept or Cancel option. Below the Files column, the supplier can download the PO's PDF/CSV/XML file.
Once the supplier accepts the dropship order, the status of the order will change from "Pending Supplier Confirmation" to "Expected" in the dropshipping dashboard of the supplier. In myFulfillment, this action will move the order from the "Pending Supplier Validation" tab to the "Pending Supplier Shipping" tab.
The dropship order can be manually approved from your end by clicking on the "Confirm" button under "Actions" column of the Pending supplier validation tab.
Pending supplier shipping
This tab displays the dropship orders that have been approved by the supplier and are awaiting shipment. In this tab, the supplier can provide the shipping method and add the tracking number for each order. Post to that he can Accept the order.
Once the supplier completes this step, several outcomes will occur:
1. A shipment will be created for the dropship order.
2. The shipment notification email will be sent to the customer (if you enabled the "Notify Customer" option in this tab).
3. The purchase order status will change to "Complete".
4. The dropship order will move to the "History" tab.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your dropship orders are efficiently processed and shipped to your customers in a timely and accurate manner.
