If your company uses central purchasing, you need to determine which branches will serve as the default drop points for purchase orders submitted to this vendor from central purchasing. You can define multiple drop points for this vendor, but only one drop point can be defined or edited at a time.
You cannot assign a branch to more than one drop point. Any branch not assigned to a drop point serves as its own drop point.
To define a drop point:
From the Maintenance menu, select Vendor to display the Vendor Maintenance window.
In the Vendor field, enter the vendor's name to display the vendor record.
Select Additional > Drop Point to display the Drop Point Maintenance dialog box.
In the Drop Point Branch field, select the branch to which this vendor will ship all materials.
The company's branches display in the Branches field.
In the Branch ID field, enter each branch for which the assigned drop point branch will receive materials from this vendor.
The system uses these settings for the initial drop points, but you can override them through Purchase Order Entry if necessary.
To delete the displayed drop point, select File >Delete. The system prompts to confirm the deletion.
Save the settings. You can then assign another drop point.
