# Fishbowl: "Configurable Parts cannot have Drop Ship"

> Configurable Parts cannot use Drop Ship as the default sales order fulfillment type.

## 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)
