Best Practice for Purchase Orders for an Outsourced Item I have a company that does logoware on primarily clothing items. The company uses kits with a base shirt a logo item (as they have many logos). For most customers they are a drop ship processor where the shirt manufacturer gets a PO to ship to embroiderer who ships to he customer based upon a sales order. Works great. They have some large customers for whom they actually stock logo shirts that they own for rapid shipment. Would best practice be to create two separate POs manually? I hate the idea of dummy sales orders to an internal customer. Any great Minds have a best practice for me?

So they have physical control over a shirt that they already own but they need to get the logo put on? Or is everything done and they just need to ship to customer.

In the new scenario, they order the shirt and logo and then stock in their warehouse. They own the material. In previous lives, they sold it all to the customer when logo'd. New process new hassles.

Just to clarify, they order shirts from one vendor and logos from another? Could you use Landed Cost (treating the embroider like a freight vendor)?

Yes Maam. No, on the landed cost because they need to provide the embroiderer detailed instructions including the information on the PO from the shirt provider.
