WHEN WE SET UP THE BILL TO CUSTOMER FILE IN AR-A, MANY TIMES WE HAVE MULTIPLE SHIP TO LOCATIONS LINKED TO THE BILL TO. IS THERE ANY WAY IN SO-A WHEN WE ENTER THE CUST CODE FOR THE BILL TO THAT THE SHIP TO FIELD WOULD AUTOMATICALLY HAVE A DROP DOWN BOX LISTING SHIP TO OPTIONS TO PICK FROM? RIGHT NOW IF WE ENTER THE BILL TO AND THERE ARE MULITPLE SHIP TO'S TO CHOOSE FROM IT JUST PUTS THE BILL TO CUST CODE IN THE SHIP TO SPACE SINCE IT DOESNT KNOW WHICH ONE WE WILL WANT. IS THERE A WAY TO OVERRIDE THIS?

Let's say customer is GOODPAY CORP, and a drop-ship of theirs is DROPSHIP INC.  Cust code is GOODP, and ship-to code is GOODP-DRO.  If Goodpay has a default ship-to (for instance, if their billing address is a PO box), their default ship-to is GOODP-1.
 
This works.  A drop-down of ship-tos would be neat.

Yeah, I know now that there can be issues with special characters. I guess I've just been lucky, but I haven't had any problems, knock on wood.
 
Back in the day, either there was no "Ship to Customer" field in the customer master or it didn't prevent one from selecting it as a bill-to.  At that time, someone at DBA suggested a special 1st character to designate ship-only addresses. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
 
Also, before the recent addition of the obsolete, engineering, etc status codes I was using a ^ as the first character of the description to flag parts as being obsolete.  Hey, I make this stuff up as I go along.  
 

THIS IS HOW WE CURRENTLY HAVE IT SET UP:
 
BILL-TO CODE FOR PRECISE FLIGHT IS PREFLI.
SHIP-TO CODE IS PREFLI-S
 
NOW WHEN THERE IS MULTIPLE SHIP-TO ADDRESSES WE WOULD PUT:
 
PREFLI-S
PREFLI-S1
PREFLI-S2
PREFLI-S3
 
NOW EACH OF THOSE SHIP-TO'S ARE TIED TO THE BILL-TO PREFLI.
 
WHAT HAPPENS IS SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECORDS TIED TO THAT BILL-TO IT JUST POPS THE BILL-TO IN THE SHIP-TO AREA. WE WOULD JUST LOVE TO HAVE A DROP DOWN BOX OR A PROMPT THAT WOULD TELL THE PERSON ENTERING THE SALES ORDER THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHIP-TO LOCATIONS. OFTENTIMES OUR EMPLOYEES JUST TYPE OVER THE TOP OF THE BILL-TO ADDRESS INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT SHIP-TO CODE. I THOUGHT IF THERE WAS A WAY THEN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. LYNN IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU COULD INCLUDE THAT IN ONE OF YOUR UPDATES?  

I just came across this today. We use numeric Customer Codes and I had the same dilemma. I have some customers who have a seperate "Bill To" address from their "Ship To" address and some also have special "Drop Ship To" addresses which I need to use from time to time.  
 
I don't know if this will help anyone, but I decided to set my "Ship To" only customers to a higher series of Customer Code to keep these seperate. This way, when I have to do a look-up, they all come up together.
