Hey all, have a tricky question I'm wondering if anyone here has came across. So we are a manufacturing company, we have a few new customers that we will be manufacturing for as well as drop shipping items to their customers. My question here is how would you handle this? Should they be getting a sales order fulfilled and invoiced for those items, then a vendor record setup and a purchase order to receive those items back into inventory? I was thinking about doing it like this, and then having the orders come from their customer record to the different address's they provide at $0 for them. Im questioning if there is a cleaner way of doing this from an accounting and inventory side, or if their really is no other options. Thanks in advance!

There is an ability to create "other relationships" with entity records, where both would share the same internal id but hold entity type = Vendor or entity type = Customer. This should let you use the same name across AR/AP. I think in your case, however, you will want the BOM structure to help drive this process. Are the items being manufactured the same items being sent to their customers?
