Setting up a delivery address

Delivery addresses can be applied to individual sales order lines on a sales order.

  1. Use Addresses (ADD) to add the new address, if required.
  2. Use Customers (CUS) to retrieve the customer details.
  3. From the Action menu select Delivery Addresses to display the Customer Delivery Addresses Setup form.
    If any addresses have already been linked to the customer as delivery addresses they are listed on this form.
  4. Click Insert to display a blank line on the form.
  5. In the Delivery Address Code field, enter the address code or use Query to select the code.
  6. Click OK to assign the new address to the customer as a delivery address.
  7. Enter the following details for this address, if required:
    Description
    The description.
    Lookup Code
    The lookup code.
    Short Heading
    The short heading.
    Minimum Order Value
    The minimum value of goods or services that must be ordered by the customer for the delivery address. If entered, this value overrides the value on the customer record.
    Default Lead Time
    The time it takes to deliver to the customer at this address. This is expressed in the lead time unit selected. This is used when calculating the Agreed Due Date on a sales order line.
    Default Lead Time Unit
    The unit of time in which the lead time is expressed. For example, days or weeks. This is used when calculating the Agreed Due Date on a sales order line.
    Note:  Care must be taken when using minutes and hours as the system calculates dates to days only.
    Default Dispatch Warehouse
    The warehouse from which goods are usually dispatched to this customer for this delivery address. For example, a warehouse local to the delivery address. This warehouse will be used as the default when raising a sales order line for this delivery address, but can be overridden on the sales order entry form.
    Whole Sales Order Line Only
    Options are:
    • Yes - indicates that the whole sales order line must be delivered.
    • No - indictes that part of the sales order line can be delivered.
    This overrides the Whole Sales Order Line Only settings on the customer record and the Sales Business Setup.
    Customer Override Carrier
    This defines which carrier is used to transport the goods from the warehouse to the customer's delivery address. A carrier is a supplier which is defined as being a carrier on the Supplier.
