Drop Ship Parameter Group

The Order Manager includes hundreds of System Parameters that can be used to tailor the program to a merchant's way of doing business. To change a system parameter, go to the Maintenance Menu and double-click "Set System Parameters" from the list of links, or select System Parameters from the Quick Clicks on the Main Menu. For ease of use, the system parameters are divided into "Parameter Groups" with related functions. This article describes the parameters that are part of the Drop Ship parameter group.

 

Parameter Name

Comments

AddNoteWhenDropShipPOSent

If TRUE, the program will add a Note whenever you send a drop ship purchase order.

DropShipAutoFaxTemplate

Default template for drop-ship purchase orders sent by automated fax. Can be over-ridden by settings for individual Suppliers.

DropShipAutoOrder

If TRUE, drop-ship purchase orders will be created automatically as you import orders. POs will only be created for Approved orders, and only for items with Primary Suppliers. WARNING: THIS IS A POTENTIAL SECURITY PROBLEM, SINCE CUSTOMERS CAN PLACE ORDERS AND HAVE THEM DROP-SHIPPED TO THEM WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. ONLY USE THIS OPTION IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THAT RISK!!!

DropShipCheckQOH

If True, when orders are imported, the program will check current Quantity on Hand for normally drop shipped items. If there is enough in stock, that line item will be shipped from stock instead of drop shipped. Introduced in V5.929.

DropShipContact

Name of person vendors should contact if there is a problem with a drop-ship order.

DropShipEmail

Email address to which drop-ship vendors should sent confirmations.

DropShipEmailTemplate

Default template for drop-ship purchase orders sent by email. Can be over-ridden by settings for individual Suppliers.

DropShipMailTemplate

Default template for drop-ship purchase orders sent by mail. Can be over-ridden by settings for individual Suppliers.

DropShipManualFaxTemplate

Default template for drop-ship purchase orders printed for manual faxing. Can be over-ridden by settings for individual Suppliers.

DropShipPhone

Telephone number of person vendors should contact if there is a problem with a drop-ship order.

DropShipPostProcessTracking

Set to True (default) to have the system process tracking numbers after posting Drop-Ship Tracking information. Set to False to avoid the tracking number processing to save time during drop-ship tracking posting.

DropShipSetDate

If TRUE, the program will assume that drop shipped items are shipped, and calculate the actual ship date automatically. If FALSE, the program will leave the ship date for drop shipped items blank, and fill them in when you set the Actual Shipped Date.

DropShipShowAsShipped

By default the Order Manager will mark drop-ships as "needed" rather than shipped if the DropShipSetDate is set to False. If the ApproveOrdersWithDropShips parameter is set to True, you will need to set this parameter to True to have Order Manager mark the drop ship items as "shipped" rather than "needed". This will allow Order Manager to approve the order because there will be something to ship and Order Manager will show a "balance due" for the sale (for use if you have the ChargeCardsAtImport parameter set to True).

DropShipUsePOSystem

Set this option to True to be able to manage your drop ship orders using the Purchase Order System. This will allow you to mark Drop-Ship POs as having been shipped and will also allow you to track invoices against the Drop-Ship POs

GetDropShipCostFromSupplier

If using FIFO Inventory Tracking, cost for a drop ship item is pulled from the FIFO inventory record(s). If you want the cost for a drop ship item to come directly from the supplier, set this parameter to True

UseBatchDropShip

Set to True to allow batch drop ships to be processed from the Maintenance Menu>Shipping & Fulfillment>Batch Drop Ship button

ViewDropShipEmails

If TRUE, when you click one of the Order Drop Ship buttons (Selected Item, All from Selected Supplier or All), if the drop ship order is to be emailed, you will be able to preview and edit the email before sending it.
