Dealing with large number of ship to addresses

Would you have any sample code I could look at on how to do this? I've wrote customizations and BPMs, but they have always dealt with modifying existing information, none of them have ever added a new record.

Another option is to customise the order entry screen

Allow the users to enter the ship to address in the Order Entry Screen, then in the background

Use the ShipTo Adapter (which is faster) to create the shipto record and link to the sales order header.



Long Term E9 is the route to go with OTS.

That is exactly what I need, but we aren't any where near ready to upgrade to 9.

Epicor 9 has a "one time ship to" feature available in OE in addition to the standard ship to's. Also, there is a Drop Ship checkbox at OE and Drop Ship functionality for Purchasing and Shipping/Receiving.

It may be what you need.

We mostly drop ship, and as the number of ship to addresses increase for each custom it takes longer and longer to enter sales orders. Has anybody else addressed this problem and have come up with a decent solution?

Thanks.

Steven G.
Yes. Big problem for us.

Steven, is the problem that you have a lot of sales order lines/releases on a single sales order or just the fact it takes a long time to pull a ship to address into a sales order?

Well, you might not like this...Epicor 9 allows One-Time-Ship-tos.

A long time to pull a ship to address in. Actually, it's the time it takes to create one. Since they are drop ships, a new shipto address has to be created each time. This can take up to a minute or so for each order on our bigger customers, and its only going to get worse.

We have a support case open for this problem. Drop ship is not what we have problems with. We have customers with 2000+ ship-tos that we actually ship to. There is a slowness on customers with many, many ship-tos. This occurs in both Customer Maintenance and Sales Order Entry.
