Ship to party and Delivery address Different?

Former Member

The requirement is that the Ship to party address be different than the delivery address.

Options i have thought about is

1) Maintain the ref address in TEXT.

2) Maintain a separate partner function.

Please give suggestions as to how can we maintain 2 different addresses for the same ship to party?

The user wants to have both addresses on the document.

The TEXT option is not acceptable by the user.

Please help.

Thanks in advance. Point will be awarded for any helpful answer!

Regards,

Hi In the partner function you can maintain a one time ship to address as well, generally in business the address would be different from the actual address only if they are asking to send the goods to a address for temp period of time.

You can create a new partner function ad addign it to SP and use it in the partner determination.

This kind of requirement is very common in Consumer goods industries. I have worked on similar kind of requirement and we have mapped it in sap as below.

1.Create customer master record with a new account group for the delivery address with parnter funciton as SF(Ship For)

2.Assign this SF record in SH master record or SP record

2.In sales document parnter determination proceudre include the parnter function SF by fetching it either from ship to master recrod or sold to

Please let me know if you need any further details.

It would be better if you create a new Partner Function & then accordingly craete a Customer with the different address. Now add that Partner Function with the Customer Code at Delivery Header.

You would have to Hard-Code that Partner Function in the Smart form of Delivery so that system will pick address only for that Partner Function to avoid any wrong manual entry.

Hi,

It is better to maintain a seperate partner function since you cannot have 2 different addresses for one ship-tp party.

According to SAP standards Ship-to party is the one who receves the goods and his address should be the delivery address, else calling him a Ship-to party doesnt make sense !
