This applies if the selected work center is registered as a Subcontractor, in which case the button under the DA column is activated. Information about the company’s delivery address for operation subcontracting purchase orders is loaded from the address register when printing the subcontract document. In this case, the latest delivery address used for that user is loaded. The first time, the system loads the active (current) delivery address (main goods receiving address) for the company. Please compare with registering regular purchase orders.
Multiple Delivery Addresses
You can change the delivery address for a certain subcontract purchase order by selecting a delivery address from the address register.
Use the button in the DA column to load a delivery address. You can select any delivery address that has been registered for the company, customers and suppliers. If you select "Customer" or "Supplier", a field appears for the customer or supplier code. There you can select any delivery address that has been registered for the respective company, customer or supplier. You select the address in the left part of the window using the keys or by clicking in the box in question.
By using the Find button, you can search for any optional text in the address. By entering a search word, the addresses containing the specific word will be filtered out.
A pound sign on the DA button indicates that another delivery address (other than the active default for that company) has been selected. For example if the last operation is a subcontract, the goods are often sent from the subcontractor directly to the customer. In that case, our customer’s delivery address is selected for the subcontract. Another example is if there are two different subcontractors for two different operations. In that case, the delivery address for the following (next) subcontractor is selected for the first subcontract operation.
The information about a subcontractor’s delivery address, that should be printed on the waybills for the goods that will be shipped to the subcontractor, is also taken from the address register during delivery note printout in thePrint Shipping Documents procedure. The system always loads the active delivery address for that subcontractor. In that procedure, you can also make a temporary selection of another delivery address and shipper address.
