Ship To Locations

The Ship To Location is the requested delivery location on a Purchase Order. Ship To Locations are independent records; they are not maintained on Vendor records. A default Ship To Location must be set up in the system, which will be populated on a Purchase Order during order entry. The information on these records, such as the address and the primary contact's name and contact information, is available for printing on purchasing forms and reports.
