Drop Shipment is done when your customer has ordered an item that you dont manufacture. In this case you purchase the same product from another company and the ship to location will the customers address. In Oracle the steps that are followed are as follows:


Enter the order with a Dropship item >> Book >> Workflow Background Process is run>>
Then Purchase release is run>> now in PO super user>> run Requisition import>> it will create the requisition>> Autocreate the requisition to a PO>> receive the PO into the dropship subinventory>> Verify the SO lines should be shipped by now>>> Run workflow and Autoinvoice.

Drop Shipment is a process where the customer places a purchase order on a company and this company instructs its supplier to directly ship the items to the customer.

Drop Shipment – Process Steps

Create a Sales Order with line where the line source is External
Book and Schedule the Sales Order
Run Requisition Import Process
Now the line status will be in Awaiting Receipt
Login to the Receiving Organization (Purchasing) who has been setup as an Approver
Run Requisition Import
Create Purchase Order from the Requisition
Approve the PO
Receive the full quantity
Run Auto Invoice
Verify Invoice in Sales Order

Oracle Order Management uses purchase orders to outside suppliers that are automatically generated from sales orders for goods supplied directly from the supplier. The “external ” supplier ships the goods directly to the 3rd Party customer and confirms the shipment through the use of an Advanced Shipment Notice (ASN).

The item attribute setup is a major one here. The item should have the Default SO Source type as External the item template should be Purchase Goods.
