Entity Addresses
When you create the entity that represents your business, you reference the headoffice address of a business relation for address and tax details. This address must be defined first and then referenced in the Entity Create activity. This activity is described in
Setting Up Entities.
However, typically a single business operation can require many different addresses. For example, you could have separate addresses for any of the following:
• Address where suppliers send invoices for payment.
• Address where suppliers deliver items on purchase orders.
• Address printed on formal documents sent to customers, such as sales quotes, sales order acknowledgements, and invoices.
• Addresses for sites and locations where inventory is stored. Site and location addresses are used for calculating taxes and generating Intrastat records.
These types of addresses are set up in Company Address Maintenance (2.12). The address details are supplied by specifying the related business relation. The headoffice address is always the one that supplies the address details for company addresses.
These company addresses are referenced during inventory movements and in the following functions:
• Physical Address field in Location Maintenance (1.1.18)
• Ship-To field in Purchasing Control (5.24)
• Declarant field in Declarant Maintenance (29.22.1.20)
• Bill-To field in Purchasing Accounting Control (36.9.5)
• Company Address field in Sales Order Accounting Control (36.9.6)
• Company Address field in Sales Quote Accounting Control (36.9.9)
• Company Address field in SSM Accounting Control (36.9.10)
