Ship to Addresses
Ship to addresses are useful for customers who are billed at
one location but have their purchases delivered to another. An example of this
might be a restaurant chain that has several sites in a city, each of which is
delivered bread, but all billings are to a central office, which may not receive
deliveries. In some cases drop shipments might be involved. Vision Point, PRO
6.5 and Peachtree all support ship to addresses.

number of ship to’s a customer may have. The phone number should be unique for
each ship to. It is checked when you add a ship to address.

customer record.
The ship to address data entry screen is as follows:
Note that ship to’s may have a different tax code, sales tax rate, salesperson,
territory, sales discount and contact from the primary record. Of course the
address would normally be different.
An example of how a ship to might be used can be found in invoicing which starts
at the ship to address box. Placing a number or ? here will list the ship to’s
for this customer.
The list is as follows:
Once an address is selected it becomes the ship to for that invoice.
