I've tested the import of the Ship to from the OE per your instructions however I have two issues:
1-it's assigning a ship to code equal to the customer code. But the customer code is really tagged to the Bill to. Every Ship to address in the Work order for this customer is different as we are shipping on their behalf to third parties. With the Ship to in POs all I can do is update the same Ship to code which doesn't work.
2-the Ship to name imported is the Customer name, not the Ship to Name.

Andrew, as for your comments on the import function, I fully understand the complexity of the different scenarios, but just having the ability to import through File/Import would be helpful as I could create a Gridview or Crystal report to then upload daily in POs.

thank you everyone for your help and suggestions,
Vickie.

Hi Vickie.

Got the suggestion. Thanks.

Hi Vickie

Have you installed PO 9.2A? Let us know if that fixes one or both of your issues above. I seem to remember reading that it does.

Hi Steve,

I have not yet installed 9.2A as I do not understand the full impact of going to 9.2. I have many custom reports using Crystal Reports. Once we do move to 9.2A, I will give this a try again.

thanks for the info,
Vickie.

Hi Vickie,

I'm not sure if this is relevant since I didn't read through all the responses however, I wanted to mention in case this helps you, that we do one time drop ships from PO all the time.

Under Edit/Ship-Bill To Addresses, we add only Ship To addresses for those that we shipped to over and over. We set up one code in there and named it DROP (Drop Shipment). We use it for all of our one time drop ship locations.

When you create a new PO, go to the Bill to/Ship to tab and change the Ship To code to DROP. Click the "Ship To" button on the right to edit the fields. Type in the details (name, address, postal code, phone number). The bill to section always stays the same. Post your order.

Each time we do a new PO drop ship we overwrite the previous DROP details.

Hope this helps!
