Is it possible to replace ship-to-party on the initial sales order screen to payor? Top of sales order below sold to party.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

In sold-to customer master --> partners you will maintaina ll the parteners of the sold-to.

For eg for sold-to ABCD, you have 2 ship-to SHAB, SHCD, 1 bill-to BPAB, 1 payer PYAB. In the sales order if ship-to is SHAB, you can only change it to SHCD. But you cannot change it to PYAB.

Which means that you can manually change the ship-to in a sales order but that should be maintained as partner to the sold-to. If you anyway want to maintain PYAB also as ship-to partner to sold-to ABCD.

Just for clarity, why do you want to change the ship-to to payer? Any specific reason?

The user just wants the payor to be displayed on the sales order intial screen. Not the ship-to. We are a service company and ship to doesn't make any sense to us. The users would like to see payor instead of ship to.

Hi,

You can maintain the ship to party and payer as same.

How did u maintain the customer master. Does the CM has all the business partners? All your BP are different?

Hello,

We have the Sold To, Bill To Payer, Payor and Ship to defined on CM. They are usally all the same. Only on certain cases (damage billings) is where the payor is different. Usually payor is populated with the customers insurance company info. The user wants the payor to be displayed on the sales order initial screen instead of the ship to. Possible?

Hi,

I don't think u can change the label of ship to party to payer in the sales order. However, in ur case u can do the following.

Say in ur scenario u hv 5 payers, 1 SH, 1 PY & 1SP. Since u dont worry abt SH, u can create 5 SH similar to payers, and maintain them in the CMR and treat them as payers in the sales orders. Now, ur sales order it will show as SH, but the record will be similar to payer.

It is not recommended to do changes in such Standard's of SAP. However, at header level, it is possible to go to partner function and change the payer, if the payer is not the same as sold-to-party.
