The typical Drop-ship arrangement normally consists of the following setup:
Customer places order with Reseller >>> Reseller places order with Supplier
Physical goods are delivered directly from supplier to Reseller's end customer
The transactions are back to back in nature thus the administrative issuing of PO & Invoicing between Supplier & Reseller and between Reseller & Customer could be streamlined into one billing process done by the manufacturer.
In a nutshell, Manufacturer will:
Perform their own billings to Reseller
Perform direct billings to customer on behalf of Reseller
For this back to back billing process, it is possible to be done together through Excel in one go.
The Back2Back template as attached below performs the above function of 1 & 2.
What the template does:
Bill to End Customer on behalf of Reseller : Will Create an invoice (in PDF format) attached to an email directed to End Customer and keeping Reseller in the loop (CC list)
Bill to Reseller : Will Create an invoice (in PDF format) attached together with the billing done on behalf to an email directed to Reseller
Hope its helpful for fellow proletarians currently struggling with system issues or having limited resources.
