Force users to select Ship-to Address

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 141

99% of our sales orders are shipped to a different address to the customers invoicing address. Is there a way of forcing the user to select an Alternative Address or stop it Defaulting to the Sell-to address? 

We are having issue where users are forgetting to select an address and it goes to the wrong place!

    Hi,

    This type of feature is not available in standard product. For achieving this, do 3 steps.

    1. At the time of Customer Creation. Creation of Ship-to Address Master is mandatory.

    2. While creating Sales Order, at the time of selecting Sell-to Customer, system suggest Ship-to Address of customer. if it has only one address then system automatically fill the Ship-to Address code in Sales Order.

    3. And Put Validation of Ship-to Code at the time of posting.

    I think this solution will work as per the requirement.

    There is no such standard functionality that i know of, so i think you need a customization for that. If you use the process of releasing the orders maybe that is a smart place to put this reminder?
