How to setup the Ship-to Address List on the order form?

navvy

I have a problem ](*,)

I want to make a new Order on the Cronus demo company. The customer has various Ship-to Adresses,
but it's not possible for me to setup some Ship-to Adresses on the "Ship-to Address List" because the form is completely deactivated ?!

How can I "activate" this List ?

You have to setup the Ship-to addresses first on the Customer Card. Click on Customer --> Ship-to Addresses.

you can also design the form list, click on property button and search for Editable property. Change it to Yes, and save it. This will of course modify the object but will allow you to insert them at sales Order entry.

thanks for your answers

Both solutions are working fine. But, why isn't it possible to select a "normal" address from contacts table to use as ship-to address? (I'm sure there is a reason...)

The Ship-to Code field looks only at the Ship to Addresses that are defined for the customer. It does not look at the contact addresses.

If you want all of those addresses to be available, you probably want a mod that creates ship-to records when contact records are created, so that the addresses will be in both places.

thank you for this information.

That's absolutely clear for me, but why did they do that ? I mean, in many other ERP-Systems the ship-to address can be selected from a "central" address table.
What is the reason for this default configuration ?

If my customer really need those addresses, I will probably create an import function...
