If a field in the Customer Ship To Setup record is manually maintained previously, it is still overwritten with Customer Setup value for that field. This update occurs if any selected field in Customer Setup is changed. If certain fields are routinely different on most Customer Ship To Setup records, those field should not be selected for updating.

To allow the update of Customer Ship To Setup fields for the majority of ship to records, but prevent it for select records, select the Do Not Copy From Customer When Maintained in Customer Ship To Setup. When you select Do Not Copy From Customer When Maintained, any changes to the selected fields are not copied to that Customer Ship To Setup record from the master Customer Setup record. If the Do Not Copy From Customer When Maintained option is not selected, all selected fields for the Copy to ShipTo When Customer Maintained option are copied to Customer Ship To Setup when the master Customer Setup record is maintained.

If you are using divisionalized accounting, select this option to check for duplicate Lookup Names in all Customer Setup records within a division when you create or maintain a Customer Setup record. This ensures that customers are unique within divisions.

Validation also occurs when a customer record is created or maintained by an external application using an API call or the CustomerPartyMaster BOD. If an Alternate Customer ID is sent in a customer maintenance API call or in the User Area of the Sync CustomerPartyMaster BOD, this value updates the Lookup Name in Customer Setup.

If a duplicate Lookup Name is found in any Customer Setup record in the division identified for the customer, an error is displayed and the record is not created or maintained. If you receive the duplicate lookup name error when creating or copying a customer record, you can change the division number. This ensures the Lookup Name is the same for the customer in a different division.

This option is not available if you are not using Divisionalized accounting. This is determined by the Divisional option in SA Company Setup.
