Title: ShipTo code on PLs
Post by David Waldmann on 03/16/06 at 11:17:59

We use the CustomerID field in the UPS shipping program, but the PLs only have the BillTo code on them.

With Evo I can put the ShipTo code on, but the problem is that orders that ship to the bill-to address (the majority of ours) don't have a ShipTo code. Any suggestions?

Set up another customer as a ship-to only and associate it with the bill-to customer. Then go back to the bill-to customer and select the ship-to customer as the default ship-to.
We identify bill to customers with "*" (e.g. ACME*) and ship to customers with "-" (e.g. ACME-).

Yeah, I guess that would work, but it seems a waste of time and resources to have to duplicate almost all my customers.

You could also import from the Sales Order file into UPS via the Sales Order number. The customer code would not matter so much.

Sounds like what you really need is for the Ship To Code field in the SO to always be populated even if it is the same as the Bill To. It could be done manually now, let me see about automating it.

I would love to, but I just don't have time to do that in the forseeable future.

That would do it :)
