# Drop-shipping and Accentis Enterprise

Drop-shipping is a supply chain management process where you, the seller, will arrange to send stock from the Suppliers directly to the Customer without it ever physically being in your Warehouse. You will need to Receive and Dispatch the stock items through Accentis Enterprise to create the correct documentation. This enables correct financial records for each party (you, the supplier, and the customer), and for stock accountability overall. It is very important that this process is still recorded in Accentis Enterprise.

The only difference when processing these transactions in Accentis Enterprise is the delivery information on the Purchase order to indicate that it is being drop-shipped to the customer, and not delivered to your warehouse. The benefit of processing the transactions in this manner is that it will be consistent for both the supplier and the customer regardless of the delivery requirements.
