When a product is drop shipped, it is delivered to the customer directly from the vendor's warehouse, without being received into the selling organization's inventory. The sale of products this way does not produce a Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) record and does not affect the organization's inventory levels.
Follow these steps to mark a drop shipped order as shipped:
- Create or open a view of the Orders service that contains the order that you want to mark as shipped.
- Click the Shipping tab.
- Place a check mark in the Drop Ship box.
