Vendor Ship From Setup - General overview
Use this page to set up and maintain additional ship from addresses and other vendor information that is specific to the ship from location.
To support corporate- and warehouse-level freight programs that use portions of the EDI TD5 additional carrier details segment, set up these records:
- SA Table Code Value Setup - Freight Terms
- SA Freight Billing Setup
Division security
If you have multiple divisions in your company, Vendor Setup records can be assigned to a division. Based on security settings in SA Operator Setup-Other Options, users can be restricted to viewing and maintaining data for vendors and vendor ship froms assigned to one or a list of divisions. They are also prevented from purchasing products from vendor ship froms associated with a vendor that is assigned to a division that is not on their list of allowed divisions.
These restrictions apply to all searches and lookups performed against a vendor. When you perform a lookup on a Vendor Ship From field, the results are limited to only those vendors assigned to divisions in the user’s allowed list of divisions and where the Restrict Data Access for AP is Yes in SA Operator Setup-Other Options.
You can also identify vendors whose Vendor Ship From Setup record is restricted from editing, regardless of division or their SA Operator Setup-Function Security level. If the Restricted Editing option is selected in Vendor Ship From Setup, only those users who have the Allow Editing of ‘Restricted Editing’ AP Records option set to Yes in SA Operator Setup-Other Options can edit the vendor ship from record. This is useful if you have vendor ship froms that you manage at the corporate level, do not assign a division number to them, and do not want employees in other divisions to add or maintain their Vendor Ship From Setup records.
The Restricted Editing option can be used whether or not you assign users to allowed divisions.
