Ship-To F/M (ARF920)

Addressing  Additional info  User-Defined  Back to top

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.

User-Defined Screen

Many users have a few pieces of information about customers, vendors, and items that are unique to their business that they would like to enter into FACTS for reference purposes. The User-Defined screen displays user-defined fields in the major file maintenances and makes them available in FACTS Inquiry programs for information only. There are 5 user-defined fields available to any user that has access to Ship-To F/M.

You will be able to configure these fields within the following constraints:
If the user has
administrator privileges for User-defined Fields setting on the Security tab of User Code F/M (SMF410): Each field can be designated by a type--text, numeric, validated list, and date, as well as a label that can be edited in the F/M to create custom labels for each field. This allows the user to have a meaningful label other than "User Defined 1" and so on.

To configure user-defined fields:

  1. After you select the administrator privileges for User-defined Fields setting on the Security tab of User Code F/M (SMF410).above, exit FACTS and log back in to allow this change to take effect.
