Multi Ship-to Order (MSO)- How to (Retail/FMS))

Introduction,

In this blog post , we will learn steps involved in MSO Process along with Prerequisite.

Purpose –

Your customers may include large corporate groups with many of their own intermediate distribution centers or Ship-to customers depending on them. You can maintain regular business relations with all distribution centers of such a corporation, if the distribution centers and the corporation hold the same functions, for example, as a sold-to customer, a ship-to customer, and a payer.

In addition, you can accommodate orders from a corporation, in which the corporation orders goods for direct delivery to one of the following:

  • Ship-to customers: The corporation specifies how many pieces of a certain article each Ship-to customer receives.

  • Intermediate distribution center: Here, the distribution center takes over the actual delivery to the final destination of the customers associated with this distribution center. In this case, the distribution center is identical to the corporation or a certain customer. Even in this special case, the corporation specifies the articles and the quantity each customer receives. You flag these deliveries in your warehouse for easy recognition of what and how much each customer is to receive, so that the distribution center can deliver the goods to them as fast as possible.
