Send Products to Customers Directly from Suppliers (Drop-shipping)
==================================================================
What is drop-shipping?
----------------------
What is Drop-Shipping?
======================
Drop-Shipping is a system that allows orders taken from your store to be
shipped straight from your supplier to your customer. On a usual
delivery system, products are sent from your supplier to your warehouse
to be put in stock, and then shipped to your customers after ordering.
to be put in stock and then shipped to your customers after ordering.
With drop-shipping, no item is stocked. When a customer places an order
in your shop, the item is delivered straight from the supplier to the
customer. Therefore, the product doesn't need to get through your
warehouse.
Points to be considered while implementing drop-shipping

Points to be Considered while Implementing Drop-Shipping
========================================================
- Use drop-shipping only for the products you can't or don't want to
keep in stock. One reason is that you'll always make smaller
margins on items that are drop-shipped, so you should keep it
only for items that take up a lot of space in your warehouse.

- Drop-shipping is best for niche products. Chances are that products
that are in high demand are being offered by large suppliers at a
fraction of the price you'll be able to charge, so using a more
costly shipping method won't be financially rewarding. But if
your product is unique, then it makes sense!

- To protect your customers from bad experiences, test drop-shipping
companies for yourself beforehand and list the best ones.

- Make sure time is not against you. Drop-shipping should take a
reasonable amount of time and surely not more than it would have
taken you to handle it all by yourself. It's also nice to be able
to provide your customers with a tracking number.

- Items have to be available from your supplier. It's good to know if
the product you're selling is available upstream. If you don't
have that information, inform your customers that you don't hold
the item in stock and that it's subject to availability from a
third party.

Configuring drop-shipping
-------------------------
Configure Drop-Shipping
=======================
- Open the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`.
Go to **Location & Warehouse**, locate the **Dropshipping**

your customers**. Then, click on **Apply**.
Activate the functionality in the *Purchase* application by going to

:align: center
- Then go to the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings`.
Locate **Order Routing** and tick the box **Choose specific
routes on sales order lines (advanced)**. Click on **Apply**.
Then, go to the *Inventory* app, in *Configuration > Settings* to
activate the *Multi-Step Routes* feature. It will allow you to make
the *Route* field appear on the sale order lines to specify you send a
product via drop-shipping.

Add a supplier to the products you want to dropship.

How to send products from the suppliers directly to the customers
=================================================================
Send Products from the Suppliers Directly to the Customers
==========================================================
- Create a **Sales Order** and specify on a sales order line for your
products that the route is **Dropshipping**.
Create a *Sales Order* and add the product on which you just set the
vendor. Add the *Route* field thanks to the widget on the right of the
sale order line. Now, you are able to specify that your products route
is *Drop-Shipping*.

:align: center
- Open the menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Purchases --> Requests for Quotation`.
The draft purchase order is automatically created from the
procurement with the drop-shipping route. Once the order is
confirmed, you will see that one shipment has been created.

Once the sale order is confirmed, Odoo automatically generates a
*Request for Quotation* for the supplier who will proceed to the
drop-shipping. You can find it in the *Purchase* app, with the sale
order as *Source Document*.
- To confirm the sending from the vendor to the customer, go back to
**Inventory** app. On the dashboard, click on **# TO RECEIVE** on
the dropship card.
.. image:: media/dropshipping_06.png

.. image:: media/dropshipping02.png
:align: center
Once this *Purchase Order* is confirmed, a *Receipt Order* is
created and linked to it. The source location is the vendor location and
the destination location is the customer location. Then, the product
wont go through your own stock when you validate the dropship document.
- It will open the list of drop-shipping transfers. Validate the
transfer once it has been done. The items will be directly
delivered from the partner to the customer without transiting to
your warehouse.
