Why does Fishbowl say "Configurable Parts cannot have a Default SO Item Type of Drop Ship."?

Configurable Parts cannot have Drop Ship set as their Default SO Item Type. You usually hit this when creating or editing a part, but Fishbowl doesn't allow this combination because configurable parts require customization work, which conflicts with drop shipping.

Fishbowl: "Configurable Parts cannot have Drop Ship"

What it means

Fishbowl prevents Configurable Parts from using Drop Ship as their Default SO Item Type. Configurable parts are designed for items requiring customization or assembly work per order, which typically conflicts with drop shipping (supplier-to-customer direct fulfillment).

What to check

Confirm the part is set to type “Configurable”
Check the Default SO Item Type field — it’s currently set to “Drop Ship”
Choose one of these changes: either change the part type from Configurable to something else, or change the Default SO Item Type from Drop Ship to a different option (such as Standard or Assemble)
