Defining ship to facilities

Use this procedure to define ship to facilities. Facilities let you group locations in a meaningful way for reporting purposes. For example, facilities can be an inventory location, requesting location, stockroom, workstation, and so on.

When transferring goods in Lawson applications, the destination is tracked by location. When transferring manufacturer goods (product), the destination is tracked by ship to facility.

Defining manufacturer relationships You must associate at least one company or company location to a ship to facility.

When you delete a ship to facility, it cannot be attached to a manufacturer's ship to facility.
