Related Addresses

When you set up customer billing instructions and other customer master information, you define the address to which you send the invoice as the sold-to address and the address to which you send the shipment as the ship-to address. You can define related addresses for a customer if the order information, such as the shipping requirements, differs from the billing information, such as invoice copies and payment terms. The system completes the sold-to address whenever you enter the ship-to address.

During order entry, the system retrieves accounts receivable information, such as tax explanation codes and rate areas, from the F03012 table. For direct ship, transfer orders, or sales orders with differing sold-to and ship-to addresses, the system retrieves the tax explanation code from the sold-to address and the tax rate and area from the ship-to address depending on the system setup. The system also retrieves other accounts receivable information, such as billing address type (sold-to, ship-to, or both), credit information, and invoice copies, based on how you have set up customer billing instructions.
