I'm working with a customer who does not want the ship to address in Sales Order Invoice entry to default to the billing address, he wants it to be blank. Before I recommend that we just remove the ship to address from the invoice form I wanted to double check if there was a way to prevent the ship to address from populating. The customer is not excited about manually clearing the field himself everytime he does an invoice.

I can't see any other way of overriding program logic other than creating and assigning a primary Ship To Address Code with blank address fields.

Great - thanks! I just tested that as well and that seems to be the best work around.

I just tested and Amber's suggestion is the way I would go. Setup a BLNK location code as the default ship to address.

Man you have to be fast in this group!

Wow, talk about wanting to go back to an AR form........ While the blnk method would seem to work, it would seem to be a LOT of work to just create a BLNK primary for EVERY customer. Customer's can sometimes have some strange requests........................

I've imported ship-to's for pick-ups/will-calls. Customers use Avatax and need their location, not the customer's, for proper tax calculations.

This may be over simplified, but how about suppressing the ShipToAddress block in the Crystal Report.

Beginning with 4.40 there is another way. User Defined Scripting (UDS) allows you to change the behavior of MAS 90/200. The attached file is a bundled Custom Office export that contains a script that overrides the shipping address values. To import the customization, use the Customizer Import Wizard in Custom Office. The UDS is assigned as a Post Validate event on the Ship To Code field (Sales Orders or Invoices in SO). If the Ship To Code is blank the script sets ship to address fields to blank. This will work on existing orders/invoices a new one.
