In 9 you can indicate that a part is Buy-To-Order or Drop-shipped. When you
enter a sales order for these parts and indicated that they are BTO or
Drop-Shipped, a PO suggestion is generated. You don't use the regular
receiving functions, but you run a Process Drop Ship Entry and the PO is
received AND shipped on the sales order making the line ready for invoicing.
