Multiple ship to for POs

Question

Is there any patch (2007 or higher) that allows multiple ship to s.
For example my customer has several doctors office's to delivery goods to. (not warehouses)
When they enter a PO, they have to keep changing the address. It doesn't allow a drop down selection for ship tos in a Purchase order.

Hi Deborah,
My question is whether you want one PO for the different locations or multiple POs for the different ship-to's. There is a 'Split Purchase Order' option in Document Settings and also on the Logistics tab in the PO transaction. Doc Settings would determine the default settings or you can use the PO field for exceptions.
The following steps is if you want to issue a PO/warehouse. You will need multiple warehouses setup and in the PO to get this result. Once that is set up:
1.  Go to Document Settings - Per Document tab (Administration / System Initialization)
2.  Select Purchase Order
3.  Select the field 'Split Purchase Order' - this will enable one PO to split into multiple ones if there are different warehouses in the same PO
With the above setup, when you add PO #10 (as an example), SAP will close PO10 (10-0) and create PO 10-1 and 10-2, etc. - one for each warehouse. The PO will pick up the warehouse address or, if none indicated, the company address. You can override the address if need be before sending/printing the PO.
If you don't want to split the PO, you can either not activate it in Doc Settings or change the option on the Logistics tab in the PO (Split Purchase Order) for exceptions.
Hope this helps,
Heather
