<b>Direct Shipping:</b>

<u>Direct Delivery from Vendor to Recipient</u>

The merchandise is ordered from a vendor and delivered direct to the recipients. In this case, the merchandise does not go through the distribution center. The only follow-on documents generated are vendor purchase orders.

<b>Indirect Shipping:</b>

Delivery from Vendor to Distribution Center and then to Recipient

Two movements of merchandise are involved:

<u>Delivery from vendor to distribution center</u>

The merchandise is ordered from a vendor and delivered to one or more distribution centers. Vendor purchase orders are generated as follow-on documents for this.

<u>Delivery from vendor directly to recipient</u>

Once the vendor has delivered the goods to the distribution center, they are then sent to the recipients. Warehouse orders, sales orders or deliveries are generated as follow-on documents for this.

Hope this answers your question.
