Dear all,

I have the following setup from a business perspective and would appreciate some assistance how this can be solved.

I have orders which are partially our own orders and also dropship orders. The dropshipping order lines are send to our dealers who pack the orders.

These ready packed dropship orders are then send in bulk to our warehouse seperated by order and not directly to the customer since we are creating the shipping label for these shipments. We do not open these packed orders any more but rather only create the shipping label. 

I would also like to point out since this might be recommended that we can not use MTO for this business case but have to stick to dropshipping.


Now we sometimes have the case that a customer order would contain dropship orders from different dealers and also products which we have in stock.

My goal would be to have a logical setup to wait until all dropship orders from our dealers arrived and then ship all packages in one big parcel to the customer.

In this regards it is of course possible that parcels of one order will arrive at different days why in this case we would like to put them on hold until everything is in our warehouse.

I hope this explanation make it somehow clear.

Dear Jaideep. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it.
I will of course test your suggestion however I also found the following solution which solves my problem.

1. I created a new route and named it Dropshipping via Warehouse.

2. It has the same setup as Dropship rule however with the two differences:

- Under Procurement rules under "Applied on" I choose Procurement Location WH/Output

- Then I created a new Picking type which again has all the same settings as Dropship. The only difference is that the "Default Destination Location" is again  WH/Output

What happens: I create a SO with products from different sellers. First as in the normal Dropship it creates a PO for the orderered products. Once confirmed it creates a shipment in the new location "Dropshipping via Warehouse" in my warehouse.  However at the same time in WH/Output the products must be again scanned and the shipment is only finished if all products are available in WH/Output otherwise the status for some products is "Waiting Another Move"

The great additional part is now that you can use the function "Put in Pack" in the location "Dropshipping via Warehouse" so in WH/Output you only have to confirm the created pack without scanning the already by the vendor packed products.

Thank you for your input.

Hi Simon,

Yes what you have defined is quite accurate . The concept is that you are buying on order which is only slightly different from MTO, instead of manufacturing on order you are purchasing. You can also achieve this by modifying the 2nd rule to ‘buy’ from manufacture on MTO route.

The procurement / destination locations is specific to your physical locations and the materials flow within your WH. If you don’t use multi locations functionality the location on the routes might very well be WH/ Stock.

Yes, using packages is also a great functionality, it is convenient to track if you have 1 vendor supplying more than 1 product of the order and has them packed together. You can use the functionality on your receipt operation in addition to the delivery operation (drop shipping via warehouse)

Believe the route you would want to use is “cross-dock’ rather than dropship. This route is archived 

Pull from WH/ Output to Partner Locations/customers 

Pull from WH/Input to WH/ Output 

The delivery order can be completed once all the products arrive which would be tracked using internal transfer from Input location to Output location 

If you would always buy to fulfill order you can add additional rule

Buy with WH/ Input as destination location
