Is there a way to enter a Purchase Order Contract that also creates a Sales Order Contract and link the two together?

SUGGESTED
Posted By

We enter into a contract with a supplier that drop ships multiple trucks directly to the customer.  How is that done in X3?

Example:

A customer requests a quote for 1 million pounds of product which requires at least 25 shipments from the supplier to the customer.  We then negotiate a price with the supplier including drop ships to the customer and quote the customer.  The customer places the order and we place the order with the supplier.  So, I need to put a PO in for the 1 million pounds of product from the supplier and a Sales Order in for the customer for the 1 million pounds of product.  When the customer is ready for the first truck, we instruct the supplier where to send the product.

What is a better way of entering this type of transaction in X3?

    Good morning,

    The scenario you are describing has a perfect fit with the Back To Back feature available in Sage X3.

    The item and suppliers have to be setup so they can be used to generate a back to back order.

    Once the setup is done, you can create your Sales Order.

    After the Sales Order has been created, you can use the Back To Back feature to generate a Purchase Order that corresponds to the Sales Order.

    In the process, the next step will be to receive your items from your supplier before delivering them to your customer.

    If you need more detailed explanations, do not hesitate.

    Best regards

    I would like to be able to represent a contract with Supplier as a Supplier Open (Purchase) Order and agree supply price for a month. Then create back-to-back SOs / Sales Deliveries that reference the Supplier Open PO. My understanding is that Back to Back Sales Orders do not support Supplier Open (Purchase) Orders. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
