I think option B is good. My documentation to the supplier is the purchase order which includes shipping info. When they have confirmed I can "receive" the product.

But if we assume manual invoice control or prepaid invoice settings then option B would be the cleanest implementation I think -- David Rinnan Business Consultant ASPIRIX AB email: [email protected] phone: +46 707 16 38 00 skype: david.rinnan twitter: davidrinnan Open Source Business Solutions 6 okt 2011 kl. 14.39 skrev Raphael Valyi: > Hello, > > I will soon work on refactoring of the purchase_to_sale and > sale_supplier_direct_delivery modules together to make a better support for > drop shipping in OpenERP. > > However, I have a doubt: what do you think is better: > > A) drop shipping products pickings are generated upon the sale order but they > have the supplier location as the origin. > The corresponding purchase order line doesn't generate any reception. > > B) drop shipping products don't generate pickings upon the sale order.
