how is the best way to handle this situation? right now we are going in and changing the ship to address with each shipment. but if we ever have to go back to print a previous shipment we have lost the address that it was shipped to, which loses the traceability. there has to be an easier way.
1 sales order, with multiple ship to locations. - each line to different locations.
thanks!

Hi
Have you looked at using blanket sales orders? It does provide the ability to define different ship to addresses for each line item. It’s a little clunky because they attempted to provide 2 different functionalities (ship to address by line item PLUS shipping line items at different times in the future).

This would make a good functionality - decoupling shipment address from SO address. Am not sure why they are linked in the first place.
+13I dont know why that decision was made either. It wouldn’t have happened if I was the Product Manager. LOL
I have a follow up question:
We have customers who have multiple Ship To locations. We use Avalara to calculate/collect sales tax. Some of these locations are infrequent and we don’t have nexus.
Have any of you solved the issue of collecting sales tax in different States on 1 sales order? Or on 1 invoice? Our Acumatica support tells us that this is impossible but I can’t imagine that we are the only company to run into this problem.
Have any of you solved this?
one sales order multiple ship locations with different states.
+13@sams This is one area of Acumatica that falls short of many ERP applications. Even Dynamics GP which is over 30 years old has line item ship to addresses.
+13@sams Yes, under Product - Product Ideas, you just need to enter a new Product Idea and then ask others to vote for it.
