You can assign drop points on a per purchase order (P/O) basis. For example, an eight branch central P/O network is offered three drop points by the vendor. The first month, branches 1, 3, and 5 contribute the most to the central P/O, so the drop points are branches 1, 3, and 5. The second month, branches 1, 4, and 7 contribute the most and they are the drop points.
The receiving branches print the P/Os for all branches on the central P/O. User the Cross Dock program to distribute the items.
Use Drop Points Entry to override a drop point on a purchase order.
