"Bill To Ship To" Model Supported On ERPNext

In a typical “Bill To Ship To” model of supply, there are three persons involved in a transaction, namely:‘A’ is the person who has ordered ‘B’ to send goods directly to ‘C’. ‘B’ is the person who is sending goods directly to ‘C’ on behalf of ‘A’. ‘C’ is the recipient of goods.

Is Bill to Ship To model supported on ERPNext. If should we create a feature request for this ?

Hi,

I know that there are different fields for billing and shipping. But they both belong to one company. We can’t use the billing of Company A and Shipping to Company C.

Use Case:
Company B has a distributer Company A. A customer Company C orders stuff from Company A, then the Company A orders Company B to bill to Company A but ship to Company C.

is the problem statement clear ?

It doesn’t apply to sales order. This feature is for the distributor, in the use case listed above and not for the manufacturer. The distributor is infact using the Dropship model, but from the Manufacturer perspective it is “Bill to Ship to” model.

Thanks for your reply though.

Can we add the existing customer to the shipping address from our customer list ?

In a typical “Bill To Ship To” model of supply, there are three persons involved in a transaction, namely: ‘A company ’ is the person who has ordered ‘B’ to send goods directly to ‘C’. ‘B’ is the person who is sending goods directly to ‘C’ on behalf of ‘A’. ‘C’ is the recipient of goods and is also shown in our customer list. Can we add it to the shipping list or do we have to create a new address?

Has this problem been addressed yet? It is a typical model when a customer is using finance to pay for something. In that case, the finance provider is the Bill To entity and the end customer is the Ship To entity.
This is different to drop-shipping as that is a supplier relationship on purchase orders. This is a Sales Invoice relationship.
