With Horizon, you can handle all ordering and billing at one location. This consolidates order work and may help you receive discounts that vendors often give for large orders. (Most vendors provide a discount for orders over a certain amount. Combining orders for several locations helps you reach these minimum discount amounts.)
If you choose to order items from one location, you can still have the vendor ship the items to individual locations. You do this by marking the Drop Ship box on the PO header. Marking this box, prints a separate shipping list for each location when you print the purchase order. This instructs the vendor to ship the items to individual locations, but to send the invoice to one location (specified by the Billing Address field on the PO header). You can then receive the items at the individual locations, but handle claims and invoice entry at the central location.
If you mark the Drop Ship box, Horizon:
• | Prints a separate shipping list for the individual locations on the purchase order. These locations are specified in the Distribution group for each PO line. |
• | Prints individual shipping addresses for each location on the shipping list. These addresses are specified in the Ship Address field in the Distribution group. |
• | Prints the titles, quantities, and amounts for each location on the shipping list. |
• | Prints this message on the purchase order in place of the shipping address: “See attached shipping distribution.” |
You specify the billing address in the PO header. It is printed on the purchase order under the “Bill To” label. If you want to bill locations separately, you must create a separate purchase order for each location that contains that location’s billing address.
