How to drop-ship a Kit
The items we sell in our SuiteCommerce Standard web store have default/primary sales units of measurement in thousands of Eaches, called Ms. This breaks the web store when customers try to order anything, because the Quantity needs to be in Pallets, which have a fractional part to their M equivalent, and SuiteCommerce doesn't work with anything but whole number integers in the Quantity inputs.
To solve this problem, we packed the Items we sell into Kits which represent 1 pallet each of the item, and the customers can order Kits as whole number pallets.
That solved the problem very well, but introduced another one: When our sales reps go to the Sales Order that results from a customer placing an order in SuiteCommerce, then there is usually a Drop Ship link available for the items, but we don't see one for the Kits that represent them.
