Changing Ship to name in SOP?

[Crispy3]

In sop the shipping name is automaticly populated from the bill to name. What if a customer requests an order to ship to thier customer with a different name? I have used the contact field and modified the documents to print the ship to contact instead of the company name. Is there any other wat around it?

Thanks!

GP does allow users to modify shipping address per line item on the sales document - enter sales item - click on blue arrow (on header above sales item) this opens up the sales item detail window - right hand side of this window has ship to address id - click on blue arrow - this opens up a window with a shipping address that attaches to the item. This will be stored forever with the sales record and is easy to get to print on packing slip and picking documents. I have a couple of clients that have multiple line items on sales order and its a big bother to change each address for each item - they have trained users to record a macro when making first item entry address change and then user lauches macro - saving re-entering address at item detail. It's clunky but you might want to take a look and see if feasible for you.
Good Luck,

crispy3, we're in the same boat as you. There is no way to switch the shipto address to another customer. We do just as you said, change the contact field and tell the report that the company name is the contact field.

not elegant but....
