Assigning an Order Shipping Address

Purpose: Use the Create Order Ship to Address Screen to specify a shipping address for the order that will be linked to the current order only; no secondary customer record is filed with this address to use on future orders.

Order ship-to addresses are addresses that are attached to orders you are entering, but which are not saved as permanent mailing addresses for customers.

Example: Here is an example of when you would define an order ship-to address for an order:

Customer: "...please ship the package to my hotel room, because I am on vacation...."

No history captured: When you enter an order ship-to address, the system does not capture mail, order, or item history because the recipient is not a good target for future mailings.

When you create an order ship-to address, the system:

• Attaches this address automatically to the current order only

• Ships the order to the new shipping address

 

Note: If you have already entered the order, and one or more items on the order are restricted from being shipped to the state or country of the ship-to address you have selected, you cannot attach the new address to the order; a message displays when you press Enter:

One or more items on the order line are restricted to new shipping country/state.

For more information: See Merchandising Entering Additional Item Information, for information on item/state restrictions.

E-commerce orders: Alternate shipping addresses for orders you receive through the web storefront can be created as order ship-to addresses. See System Operations E-Commerce Interface.

Create Order Ship to Address Screen

How to display this screen: Press F14 at the Work with Order Screen (header format) or Work with Order/Detail Screen (header/detail format). You advance to the Change Order Ship To Address instead if there is already an order ship-to address for the order; this screen includes all the same fields as the Create screen, and the attributes of each field are the same.

About this screen: The first field at the top of this screen contains information pertaining to the current order. Notice that no customer number is assigned to the order ship-to address record, nor do you have the opportunity to define telephone numbers for the address. This is because the only purpose of this address is to direct the order to the correct destination.

Field

Description

Order#

A unique number assigned by the system to identify an order. Every order on the system is assigned an order number. This number is used in Order Inquiry to review information for the order. This number is also used throughout the system to access information on an order.

You cannot update this number.

Numeric, 8 positions; display-only, assigned by the system.

Ship-to number (unlabeled field)

A hyphen (-) separates this field from the Order# field. This value indicates the number of orders associated with the primary order, including recipient and gift orders. This, at the simplest level, represents the number of shipping addresses for the order. The system assigns a sequential ship-to number to every order, even if the shipping address and the sold-to address are the same. The first ship-to address is assigned the number 1.

You cannot update this number.

Numeric, 3 positions; display-only, assigned by the system.

Name

5 fields are available for you to enter the customer's full name:

Prefix

A title that belongs before the customer's name, such as "Mrs." or "Dr."

Address

Four address fields are available for you to enter a complete and specific customer address.

Address line #1

The customer's street address. This is the primary delivery address.

Enter P.O. Box and the box number if the customer's address represents a post office box.

For example, enter P.O. Box 9999 in the Street field to indicate delivery to a post office box instead of a home or company address.

Alphanumeric, 32 positions; required.

Address lines #2-#4

(unlabeled fields under initial Address field): Additional address fields for international or business addresses. Although the primary delivery address (address line #1) is required, you may add additional address lines when necessary to pinpoint a customer's address.

Alphanumeric, 32 positions; optional.

Apt/Suite (Apartment/Suite)

The customer's apartment, suite, rural route or floor number.

You may enter any type of information in this field to further identify the address. This information prints next to the primary street address on labels.

To enter an apartment or suite address:

1. Enter APT to indicate an apartment or STE to indicate a suite.

2. Insert a space.

3. Enter the number of the apartment or suite, such as: APT 4 or STE 1164A.

Alphanumeric, 10 positions; optional.

The postal code or zip code for this customer. This code represents a delivery area. The system calls a user-defined program to validate postal code formats if you have entered a Y in the External Postal Code Validation (E62) system control value.

Alphanumeric, 10 positions; required.

City

The city where the customer lives or receives mail or shipments.

Alphanumeric, 25 positions; required.

The code for the customer's country. Country codes are defined in and validated against the Country file.

Your system administrator may define a default country in the System Control file or you can define a default country on the Request Order Batch screen.

Alphanumeric, 3 positions; required.

Delivery

This value identifies a business (commercial) or residential address. This value is used when you ship an order by a carrier that uses business or consumer rate tables (such as UPS).

B =Business rate table will be used to determine shipping charges.

R =Residential rate table will be used to determine shipping charges.

Alphanumeric, 1 position; optional.

E-mail address

The email address associated with the ship-to mailing address. The email address is upper and lower case.

Gift certificates: The system sends a gift certificate notice to this address, rather than printing a gift certificate, if the E-mail gift certificate field on the Work with Order Ship to Properties Screen is selected, and if the Gift Certificate E-Mail Program (H07) system control value specifies a valid email program. See that system control value for more information.

Fraud checking: The order goes on ES hold if this email address matches an email address in the Miscellaneous Fraud file; see Working with Miscellaneous Frauds (WMFF).

Alphanumeric, 50 positions; optional.
