Multiple Ship to Addresses

You use this program to maintain ship to addresses (delivery addresses) that you can assign to your customers.

Each ship to address is referenced by an address code that can be selected during processing in the Sales Order Entry program (e.g. you can ship individual sales order lines to different addresses for a specific customer).

Customer Indicate the code of the customer for whom you want to maintain multiple number of ship to addresses (delivery addresses).

Multiple Ship to Address Details

Field Description
Ship to address information  
Customer This indicates the customer code you entered.
Address code This indicates the unique address code for the ship to address you are currently maintaining.
Name This defaults to the customer's name as defined using the AR Customer Maintenance program, but can be changed.

An additional hyperlink is available (Resolve GeoLocation from address) to resolve addresses using the long or short name.
Ship to address details  
Geographic area

Assign a specific geographic area to the address code. This field is only displayed when Tax by geographic area is enabled (Tax Options).

A valid geographic area must be entered, irrespective of which tax system you are using (Tax Options).
Tax code

Indicate the extended tax code to use for the ship to address.

This field is only displayed if your nationality code is defined as USA (Company Maintenance), and you require tax by advanced geocodes or you are using the USA AVP sales tax system (Tax Options).
Base rate

This indicates the base applicable to the tax code (see Browse on Extended Tax Codes).

This field is only displayed if your nationality code is defined as USA (Company Maintenance), and you require tax by advanced geocodes or you are using the USA AVP sales tax system (Tax Options).
Delivery route

Enter a default delivery route code to use for deliveries to this customer address.

A different default delivery route code can be assigned to each multiple address if required. When you use the program to copy a sales order, only the route code defined against the customer (AR Customer Maintenance) is used when creating the copied order. The route code defined here is ignored.

Delivery route codes are maintained using the Browse on Delivery Routes program.

This field is only enabled if you selected the option: Load planning required (Sales Order Setup - Load Planning tab).
Delivery distance/sequence

Enter a default delivery distance or sequence number to use for deliveries to this customer's address on the route entered in the previous field.

For example, you may want to assign this delivery address as the first one to which deliveries must be made on the default delivery route specified, in which case you enter 1 in the sequence field. Alternatively, you may enter the distance of the customer's delivery address location from your delivery warehouse as the sequence. If you specify this distance against all your customers' delivery addresses on this route, then you can sequence the loads on the route based on the delivery distance from your premises to your customers' delivery address.

This field is only enabled if you selected the option: Load planning required (Sales Order Setup - Load Planning tab).
Nationality This indicates the nationality code for the country in which the account/supplier/customer is located.
[Note]

If the EC Vat system required option is in force (Admin Tax Options), then this field is mandatory.
Delivery terms You use this field to optionally define the default three-character alphanumeric Incoterms code, denoting the terms of delivery for the ship to address.
[Note]

The Incoterms code indicates the portion of costs and risks agreed to by the parties in a contract of purchase or sale.

For example, the Delivery term CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid), indicates that the seller pays the cost of carriage and insurance necessary to bring the goods to a named destination (i.e. Shipping location).
Shipping location You use this field to optionally define the default Shipping location associated with the Delivery terms.
Tax exemption number Indicate the tax exemption number for the ship to address.
[Note]

This field is only available if the EC Vat system required option is in force (Admin Tax Options).

Notes and warnings

Intrastat considerations

  • Delivery Terms and Shipping Location's can only be captured if:

    • a valid Nationality code has been entered, and EC Vat is in force, or

    • the option to Capture delivery terms for non EC members is enabled in the Admin Tax Options program.

  • The Delivery Terms and Shipping Location defaults defined in AP Supplier Maintenance and AR Customer Maintenance take precedence over those defined in the Admin Tax Options program.

  • To reflect the Delivery Terms and Shipping Location on sales order and purchase order documents, ensure that these fields are enabled in the document format setup programs (only available with Word and SRS document printing).

  • Delivery terms are maintained using the Browse on Intrastat Delivery Terms program.

  • Shipping locations are maintained using the Intrastat Shipping Location Maintenance program.

  • Nature of transaction codes are maintained using the Browse on Intrastat Transaction Nature program.

eSignature considerations

Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering. This enables you to increase control over your system changes.

Access to the following eSignature transactions within this program can be restricted at Operator, Group, Role or Company level. You configure this using the Electronic Signatures program.

eSignature Transaction Description
AR Multiple Ship to Address changed

Controls access to the maintenance of addresses in the Multiple Ship to Addresses program.
AR Multiple Ship to Address deleted

Controls access to the Delete function in the Multiple Ship to Addresses program.
AR Multiple Ship to Address added

Controls access to the New Address Code function in the Multiple Ship to Addresses program.

USA tax considerations

  • Don't switch between using the USA tax by advanced geocodes and USA AVP sales tax system as the tax code key formats differs between the systems.

    • The key for the USA tax by advanced geocodes is 4 characters for the country code and 3 characters for the city code (e.g. AABBBB CCC).

    • The key for the USA AVP sales tax system is 5 characters for the zip code and 2 characters for the city code (e.g. AABBBBBCC).

  • When USA tax is in force, tax is always excluded from credit checking calculations.

You can embed an Application Help Pane:

  • in the main SYSPRO menu

  • in any program with panes, if not using roles

  • when adding a role layout in Design Mode.
