Generating Export Documentation for Vendor Drop Ships

[Former Member]

We have a situation in which we are taking orders from customers, but are fulfilling the order as a drop ship from a vendor.  The order is sent to GTS for screening, but a delivery is never generated to GTS becuase the vendor, not one of our plants, is shipping the product directly to the customer (vendor drop ship).

We are still responsible for generating the commercial invoice in GTS.

Is there a way to set up the creation of the commercial invoice or an export filing without setting up each and every vendor as a dummy company code (FTO) and dummy Legal Unit in GTS?

Hi Carolyn,

I guess you're talking about the classic 'TAS' Third-Party Item Category scenario in SD?  In that case, surely your local Plant is still valid, assuming the vendor is in the same country?

In case I'm missing something, please provide further explanation of where you see a problem - thanks.

Regards,

Dave
