Sales Order confirmations - ideas

[Devonwtxus]

Dear All.

We're considering supporting multiple ship-to parties per sales order, which looks to be generally supported. We can enter the specific ship-to parties at the line item level on the sales order and have a delivery per ship-to.

But allowing this may cause some other issues that we need to take in to account.

One of the decisions on whether to support Ship-to entry at the line item level involves output, especially print. Generally we show the Ship-to party at the header level on the sales order confirmation and other sales order related output.

We've been thinking of handling this by:

• Continue to only print the Ship-to info from the header level, (no visibility though to the line item ship-to)

• Print the Ship-to in the line item section with the line items that apply to that ship-to underneath the ship-to, (leaning this way)

• Print out a page per ship-to (cleaner method, but extra paper)

Curious if anyone has handled this similarly or differently?

Any other line item ship-to issues that people have encountered?

Many thanks!

Hi,

Looking at the question your requirement is to print respective ship-to account on order outputs against the line item in the sales order.

As you mentioned in your second option, the ship to account can be printed with having exclusive column as "Ship-To". This would be more cleaner approach in viewing the output than to mention the ship-to account number below item.

Normally, we do have columns like, Sr.No - Item Number - Item description - Qty- Net price etc. You may think of adding one more column with "ship-to" as heading. You need to consider output formatting to allow the additional width for this new column.
