Field help (BPAADDSOH)

The combination of the sold-to customer and this address code identifies the ship-to customer. The delivery address is initialized with the default delivery address associated with the sold-to customer in the latter's record or with the first delivery address code in the absence of any default delivery address. From this field, the contextual button allows the user to choose a delivery address. If the delivery address is not managed on the line (LINBPD parameter), this address code will be picked up by each line in the order and cannot be modified. When this not the case, this address code will be picked up on each line, but it cannot be modified.

If when modifying the shipment address in the order header, when in creation more and before any line is entered, a question is posed to the user whether they want to modify the shipment date as a function of the delivery date and to enter a new delivery lead-time linked to the new address. In all cases the information linked to the new address codes is reinitialised (Shipping site, Shipment priority, Route code, Carrier, Delivery lead-time, Delivery contact, Sales representatives if they come from the ship-to customer.

If the delivery address is modified when order lines exist (in order creation), the system warns the user that the delivery date will be recalculated with respect to the requested delivery date. In all cases the information related to the new delivery address is reinitialised in the order header (Delivery priority, Route code, Delivery method, Carrier, Delivery lead-time, Delivery contact and Sales representatives if these come from the ship-to customer). The shipping site avoids this rule and is conserved. The user will also be asked whether they want to copy the modification to the other lines in the order. Several outcomes are possible depending on the user choice :

If the user answers Yes to this question, the order line information concerning the address will be modified by the delivery information in the order header (Delivery address code, Delivery priority, Delivery method, Carrier, Delivery lead-time, Delivery contact and Sales representatives if these come from the ship-to customer).

If the user answers Noor End to this question, the order line information will not be modified.

If the user answers Value to this question, only the order lines that make no reference to the new address code will be modified.

Special feature: If the LINBPD parameter (different ship-to customers on the order lines) is set to No, the system will set no question and will modify all the order lines.

Special features linked to the inter-company option: In the case of an inter-company order generated automatically from a purchase order, the delivery address corresponds to the ship-to customer associated with the receiving site entered in the purchase order.
