NAV-EDI buyer vs delivery party setup. What is best practice?

Hello,
We have NAV 2017 and use EDI-Edifact to our satisfaction. However we wonder what is considered best practice in setting up the ´Delivery Party´s´ when the ´Buyer Party´ has multiple addresses and sometimes has an one-time drop shipment request?
Our assumptions and setup so far:
See attachment as an attempt to explain visually the above
Our questions:
1. Should each branch (Amsterdam, Rotterdam) have its own NAV customer number?
2. What is considered best practice in dealing with 1-time drop shipment adresses (EDI ´Delivery Party´ = NAV temporary Ship-to-Address)?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
Regards,
Olof

Our assumptions and setup so far:
- an EDI ´Buying Party´ = NAV ´sell-to-customer´
- if such a party has multiple branches (Amsterdam branch, Rotterdam branch, etc..) then each branch is a NAV Ship-to-Adress = EDI ´Delivery Party´
- incoming EDI messages with a drop-shipment address creates errors as that ´delivery party/ship-to-adress´ does not exist in NAV
