You can look at the documents that are given for communication of shipping information
for an order.
When
an order is ready for shipping, one of the following documents is
used for communication of this information:
Order Release
Drop-Ship Chained Order
Procurement Transfer Order
Procurement Purchase Order
Order release
If shipment is being made from one of your owned nodes or a node not
requiring a separate chained document, an order release is sent as the shipping
instruction.
Drop-ship chained order
If the sourcing function selected an external organization's node that
requires you to send a separate purchasing document to be created, Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation
creates a "drop-ship chained order".
Procurement transfer order
A transfer order can be created in several ways, and the Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation
will create a procurement transfer order depending on the parameters that are set.
Procurement purchase order Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation
will create a procurement purchase order if certain conditions can not be met.
