is a sales order line smart enough to determine if an item is in stock, fulfill/commit from stock, and if not, create a dropship/special order based on the item settings?

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** A sales order line in NetSuite does not inherently have the intelligence to determine if an item is in stock, fulfill/commit from stock, or create a dropship/special order based on the item settings. This would require additional scripting or configuration. However, it is possible to create a script that automatically routes sales order line items either to an internal warehouse or a Dropship PO Vendor. This can be done during the sales order creation, and it is also possible to change a line item to a DSPO after the order is saved, although this is not a documented process. You can create a custom button in your Sales Order to create a Drop-Ship or Special Order. The line items do not even need to be flagged as drop-ship items or special order items at the item level. If you need to use the automatic process, you can edit the sales order to be pending approval again, make the changes on the line of the sales order to make it a drop ship, and then reapprove the sales order, which will trigger the automatic drop ship again. As for tracking which line items from a sales order have been exported to the company's pick / pack / ship platform, it seems like it's based on committed quantities. It's also based on accounting preference where you can fulfill what you’ve in hand if you set accounting preference ignore commitments than you’ll see non committed lines on the fulfillment too. Please note that these processes may require additional scripting or configuration, and may not be suitable for all business needs.
