RE: back to back Shipments (AKA direct shipments)

["Arthur S. Weiner" <arthur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are using Style and Back to Back and Direct Shipping are each 'Order
Methods'.

We use Back to Back for most of our orders as it will generate a Purchase
requisition which gets moved to a Purchase Order. When the goods are
received they are added to inventory. (We have had major modifications made
to bring through SOP information such as Customer, Customer SKU, Customer
PO#, etc.

Direct Shipping, as I understand it, creates a back to back order for direct
ship to customer and will not impact inventory.

The latter sounds like what you want. It is described in the Style SOP
'manual' v3.5.1.

Hope this helped.
