Address qualifications - link addresses for use in different tabs
As soon as an address is entered for the shipper or consignee, these addresses are respectively entered for the pickup and delivery address.
However, if address suggestions for these addresses are deposited, logic will determine the selection and transfer of these addresses.
Address suggestions can be made for each address controlled by qualifiers.
Address suggestions can be made in the address basic data on the Address assignments tab.
For example, you can deposit several pickup addresses for one address.
Condition for this is the qualification of the addresses in the basic data Address qualifier in ADMIN.
Here you can assign a qualifier to the addresses A1-A9 for the different modes and sectors.
E.g. the address A1 is assigned to the qualifier SHP (shipper) in Road Export and the address A2 is assigned to the qualifier PUP (Pick up).
On the tab Address assignment in the address basic data, you can now indicate which addresses are to be suggested in which address field.
Example:
Address D3 is in the order address A1 = qualifier SHP. If this address is entered in the field A1 in the order, a mask opens, in which the address D3 is suggested as the pickup address for the address field A2 = qualifier PUP. You can accept the suggested address into the order by confirming with OK. The address is automatically entered in the address field A2.
