Use the Ship-From F/M program to create and maintain alternate vendor ship-from addresses.
Purchase orders are normally sent to the vendor address stored in AP Vendor F/M. If the vendor uses different billing and shipping addresses, enter the vendor address where you send the purchase order as the address on this screen. You can also enter an unlimited number of ship-from addresses for each vendor.
