Topic: PO/shipping

How do tell my vendor in a PO how I would like to have the item shipped.  I don't see any fields to do that.

Also can I tell  my vendor how to do a drop ship directly to my customer from his warehouse?

Re: PO/shipping

You can use the memo filed in the document form to address information to the supplier.

Re: PO/shipping

I sort of figured that could be done, what I am trying to get to is some way to take my customers name/address and get it into the PO so my vendor will do the drop ship.

We do this many times per day so having to retype that info on each order is time consuming/expensive.  I assume there is just no easy way to do it. Will just test some more.

Re: PO/shipping

What version?
There was a bug at one time (2.2.6 I think) that did not print the shipping address. I modified the report to fix but I think the dev team resolved the bug another way.

Once I ifxed it, I could enter customer's address in Shipipng address and supplier drop shipped for me no problems.

@rodw

Using ver 2.3RC3.  I don't quite understand how you get your customers name/address into the the text box, Deliver to: or Memo: (and don't know which you use).  Could you please restate how you do it sort of step by step.

This forum is great having so many helpful and knowledgeable folks.

I found my earlier post about this bug
https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1190

I did edit this report to print the shipping address and a bug was acknowledged so it will be interesting to see if my PO still prints the delivery address when I next raise a PO

And here is the 2.2 bug report. with updated files

Has there been a regression? I have not revisited this to check it still works.
