Transfer/Change Ship-To Codes (ARU920)

Use this program to change specific information in the ship-to file for a range of customer ship-to addresses.

You have the option to change:

  • Salesperson/Territory
  • Zip Code
  • Tax Code
  • Ship Complete
  • Tax Rate
  • Order Priority
  • Ship Via
  • UPS Zone (and Commercial/Residential when applicable)
  • Route

The fields above are all part of the information stored on each ship-to location in the customer file. This program is especially useful for making changes to many customers without having to manually change each ship-to location individually through the Ship-To F/M program.

Two examples for the use of this program are:

1. For a user who decides to modify the ship complete designation or the way to handle committing stock for sales orders for a range of ship-to locations.

2. For a user who decides to change the UPS Zone for a range of ship-to locations.

All fields being changed must be valid fields. For example, if changing tax codes, all tax codes being changed to must be valid tax codes.

Changes made in this program do not affect transaction files or other modules.

Access this program by choosing Accounts Receivable-->File Maintenances-->Transfer/Charge Ship-To Codes.

Use the following fields to change ship-to information:

1. Select Code Number

Enter the number of the field to be changed (1-22).

2. Order

Select the order in which the system should sort the records to be changed. Options are customer, alpha, salesperson/territory and customer class.

3. Beginning Order Choice

Select the beginning order choice.

4. Ending Order Choice

Select the ending order choice.

5. Change From

The answer to the first field (Select Number) is the field being changed; e.g., if customer class was selected, enter the customer class that is being changed. The entry must be valid for the field being changed. Press F3 to default to ALL. 

6. Change To

The answer to the first field (Select Number) is the field being changed; e.g., if customer class was selected, enter the customer class to change. Press F3 to default to user selection. If F3 is selected, the program stops at every customer whose customer class is to be changed and requires field of the new customer class.
