Use this program when you have customers with multiple ship-to addresses or different billing and mailing addresses. You can enter an unlimited number of ship-to addresses for each customer. Note: If a customer’s ship-to address is the same as the customer address, you don’t have to set up a record in this program.
The customer must be set up in Customer F/M before you can create ship-to records.
Each ship-to record contains a customer number, ship-to number and general information relevant to the ship-to number.
For more information how to use maintenances, refer to the following topics:

The User-Defined screen displays user-defined fields in the major file maintenances and makes them available in FACTS Inquiry programs for information only.
