I guess, that if there is no branch billing address, then it should use the customer address. I will ask Janusz, why it has been changed to this.

Joe:

I entered a customer in the 2.3 demo: anewtestcustomer. I left the branch billing adress empty and when I print a sales order for that customer the charge to address is empty. I seems that the branch billing address is always used?

I am sorry. I gave you a wrong directive. If the branch has its own billing address it is used here in 'charge to'. otherwise it is not used at all. It should still have its own mailing address for the delivery fields.
When the delivery and/or invoice is sent the customers address is used in 'charge to'.

Janusz:

In the line below, where does the formData['br_name'] get set? I can't find it. I am having the same problem as Eric except sometimes I need to charge the branch so have to do a bit more changing.

'name' => @$this->formData['br_name'] ? $this->formData['br_name'] : @$this->formData['DebtorName'],

Got it.

change line 44 and 62 from
_("Customer's Reference") => $this->formData["customer_ref"],
to
_("Customer's Reference") => $this->formData["name"],

Thank you

My bad, ten use 'name' instead of 'DebtorName'.

I did a test and insert
'name' => @$this->formData['DebtorName'],

returns nothing on the screen.
Does "DebtorName' hold any value at all?
My programing skill is very limited. Thank you for your time.

I think you need change it to
'name' => @$this->formData['DebtorName'],

(not tested though - I'm not sure whether DebtorName is defined for all types of report)

Hi Janusz,

I'd like to change line 19
'name' => @$this->formData['br_name'] ? $this->formData['br_name'] : @$this->formData['DebtorName'],
to
'name' => @$this->formData['customerName'],

what's the name reference to customer name?

Thank you
Eric

Oh, yes, this has changes long time ago, back in 2011. This was changed to make possible having branches charged directly.

But you can set the name and billing address for the branch the same at it is set for customer (keep branch short name unique to easy recognise branches in selectors). If this is still problem (e.g. you have big database with mostly multibranch customers) you can fix the charge data in reporting/includes/doctext.inc file about line 18-20 (the code should be self explanatory).

I'm using 2.3.14

let's say we create a customer: "Mark", a branch "DD Towing" under his name.
the sales quote or order pdf will display "DD Towing" in "charge to" and "deliver to" field instead of "Mark" in "charge to" field, "DD Towing" in "deliver to" field like earlier version 2.3.6

Thank you
Eric
