> Key: OFBIZ-213
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-213
> Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Currently, it is possible to "drop ship" by creating requirements, creating purchase order to ship to the customer, and then receiving that purchase order into a warehouse: this process is not exactly a 'drop shipment', it looks more a 'cross dock shipping' where, after the product is ordered by the customer, it is purchased from a supplier, received in warehouse and immediately shipped from there to the customer.
> The idea now is to create a true "drop ship" capability which directly ships an order to the customer without the extra steps and post it to G/L without holding it inventory. However the initial implementation will be very simple.
> Here are some of the implementation details as discussed in the dev mailing list (thanks to David, Si and others):
> **********************************************
> Data model changes/seed data changes
> **********************************************
> 1) SupplierProduct.willDropShip (new field): an indicator of whether or not the supplier will drop-ship that particular product
> 2) New seed data for Product.requirementMethodEnumId to list also:
> - allow manual drop ship
> - auto drop ship on low quantity
> - only drop ship (never stock)
> **********************************************
> Business logic
> **********************************************
> The basic idea (first draft) is to automatically create a purchase order when drop ship items are sold.
> No reservation, shipment etc will be done on the drop ship items of the sales order (drop ship items will be treated in a similar way of digital products).
> The supplier will ship directly to the customer.
