Detailed contribution margin in the case of drop shipping

@Michael Kaiser normally drop shipping scenario is frequently used for inter-co transactions. Let’s say you have a sales office that’s in IFS and also a factory that’s also running IFS. Customer Orders will be registered in the Sales Office company and manufacturing / logistics will be taken care by the factory.

In that case the following flow will be applicable

1. CO in the sales office is released,
2. PO is created automatically sales office
3. Internal CO created automatically in the factory.
4. the factory will release the internal CO and start manufacturing or even deliver from stock
5. Factory creates the delivery note and ships the product to the end customer
6.  Dispatch advice is sent to Sales Office + PODIRSH transaction → CO in sales office moves to Delivered → could be invoiced
7. Factory sends the interco invoice to the sales office → via IFS Connect / EDI
8. Sales Office invoices the end customer

Whenever there’s a Sales Part with Sourcing Option - Primary Supplier Direct, the above flow will happen (provided that the primary supplier is also an internal supplier)

For your ETL to work properly I would suggest to look into the EXT_DISPATCH_ADVICE view.

Also, below you may see some more details on the PODIRSH business event:

@Michael Kaiser if the supplier is external, then after the PO is created, the PO Lines are available in Register Direct Delivery screen → users need to manually declare that the goods have been shipped to the end customer directly by supplier (PO will be closed and CO will be Delivered → could be invoiced).
