J54: Third Party with Shipping Notification
Overview
Scenario – Third Party with Shipping Notification This scenario is made up of several building blocks, which contain the preconfiguration settings required for the Third party with shipping notification scenario. Building blocks can help you to implement the solution and put into production quickly.In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. In this scenario, the shipping notification is entered as a dummy goods receipt in consumption. For this, the customer invoice can be created before receiving the incoming invoice from the vendor.
Business ViewThe business view shows the business partners participating in the Third party with shipping notification scenario, the entire scope of the business processes, and the benefits for the parties involved.
