If a product is designated as a drop ship item, NetSuite will automatically generate a purchase order when a sales order is created for that item. To ship a drop ship item from existing inventory without generating an automatic purchase order, follow these steps when creating a sales order:
Select the item on the item subtab, and in the “Create PO” column, opt for the “blank” option before proceeding with the sales order creation.
At this point, the item will be deducted from the current inventory, and no purchase order will be generated for the associated sales order.
