Chemicals: Sales Processing using Third Party (w. Shipping Notification)

In third party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third party vendor.

In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification. After that a statistical goods receipt is posted. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the vendor.

This scenario consists of the following steps:

• A Third Party Sales Order is created and a purchase requisition is generated automatically
• A list of purchase requisitions to be assigned is displayed
• The assigned purchase requisitions are converted into purchase orders
• The purchase orders are approved
• A statistical goods receipt is posted
• The vendor invoice is verified and posted
• The billing is created

• Reduce stock and costs, increase efficiency
• Handover of customer requirements directly to external supplier
• Invoice from trader to customer based on quantities from supplier invoice
• Fulfillment of customer requirements despite material shortage
