Re: RE: COM Default Ship To Address

Bonnie,

I was the BA for MAPICS from 1998 through January of 2002 for COM.  Prior to 
being the BA at MAPICS, I was a customer using all the main core applications  
since 1979.  I have a writeup on why you should NEVER change the default 
address in the ship to file, but I am currently at work.  Give me a chance to 
look up the detailed research that I did on this subject and I'll try to get 
back to you in the next 2 days here on this board.  Yes, there are ways to 
change the default by cheating, but don't do it as there is an impact, if I 
remember correctly.  I haven't been working on an AS/400 MAPICS environment for 
the past year or I would have the information with me.  Thanks for your 
patience and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
