Approve Sales Order: Error: You must enable the automated inter-company drop ship feature in order to create an inter-company drop ship purchase order

Applies To

Product:  Intercompany Transactions
SuiteApp:  SuiteApp/Bundle name and version

Scenario

If your Preferred Vendor is an Intercompany Vendor then the system will identify the transaction as an Intercompany Drop Ship Order.

An Intercompany Vendor/Customer is a customized entity record with an additional field: Represents Subsidiary. The Represents Subsidiary field indicates that this entity acts as an agent for a selected subsidiary. An Intercompany entity can be used only for Intercompany transactions.

Solution

To check:

1. Please open the Item record used from your Sales Order

2. From the Item Record > Purchasing tab > Vendors sub tab > Open the Vendor record

3. From the Vendor Record, look for REPRESENTS SUBSIDIARY from the main line.

Thus to resolve the concern, you may need to change the Preferred Vendor set from the item record to a Regular/External Vendor
