Hi! I have a quick question, are there differences between *purchase orders* depending on whether they are *drop ships* or not?
Context: When you create a sales order that is a drop ship, *a purchase order* is created automatically. If there is an item that was *added* to the sales order, we need *to update* the purchase order. However, I want to know if there are any *differences* between a *regular po and a drop ship po*

regular purchase order ships to a location

dropship is linked to a sales order, regular is not

more related to suitescript, its much harder to create your own dropship purchase order

the usual route is to set fields on a sales order to let netsuite create it for you

thanks! If you were to implement an auto update, would it be via a user event script that adds an item to the PO?

dont know enough to give a recommendation

general advice is to avoid user events if possible
