The ship-to address information in Microsoft Dynamics GP is located in the Purchasing Item Detail Entry window. The ship-to address that is printed on the purchase order depends both on the shipping method that is specified in the Purchasing Item Detail Entry window and on the purchase order type. The purchase order types are listed in the following table.

Purchase order type Shipping method for the purchase order line Address that is used for this combination of purchase order type and shipping method
Standard Delivery The address that is contained in the Site ID field in the purchase order line
Standard Pickup The address that is contained in the vendor Purchase Address ID field in the purchase order line
Drop-ship Delivery The address that is contained in the customer Ship To Address ID field in the purchase order line
Drop-ship Pickup The address that is contained in the vendor Purchase Address ID field in the purchase order line

Note

  • In Microsoft Dynamics GP and in Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains 8.0, different line items can specify different shipping methods and ship-to addresses.
  • If no shipping method is specified, a ship-to address is not printed on the purchase order.
