Customer Ship-To

By default, the system uses the customer's ship to information when entering sales orders. This function allows you to create multiple ship-to addresses for the same customer if needed. The "ship to" addresses can then be assigned to sales orders as needed based on the user's Addresses setting in User Options.

Use alternate ship-to addresses if you do not need sales reports or margin analysis at the ship to customer level. If you do need these reports, you will need to create a customer for each ship-to address.

For example: Chain store 1 has 100 stores. If all shipments go to a central warehouse you could have one customer with a hundred alternate addresses for deliveries made directly to the stores–if you DON'T need sales or margin reports for each individual store. If you DO need sales or margin reports, you will need 100 customers with one bill to ID.

Another example: One customer has multiple outside warehouses. Use an alternate address for each warehouse in order to get reporting at the customer level.
