Difference between third party and drop shipment

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Could some one explain me the difference between a Third Party Order (TA) and a Drop Shipment Order (DR). I want to understand the process difference and the how the inventory is affected in both the types.

Thank You very much in advance.

Regards

Hi Shiva,

Thank You for the link.

Honestly, I spent an hour trying to find the right link which could explain the difference between the both, however I could not find any.

Can I request your few minutes to help me understand the difference? A line or two would be of immense help.

Many Thanks

Kumar

Hi,

In my opinion there is no difference between the two. Business users use the term Drop ship where as SAP's functionality is called third party sales process.
