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.
Use the Customer ShipTo option to create one or more ship to addresses and assign them to the customer or a generic free-form address.
