Introduction to Ship-to Addresses

A ship-to address is an address at which a service is performed or to which an order is delivered that is different from a customer’s billing address.

Accounts Receivable has a different set of ship-to addresses that what are used in Point of Sale. Ship-to addresses entered in Accounts Receivable can not be used for Point of Sale transactions. However, there is a conversion utility provided that will allow you to convert ship-to addresses from A/R to POS. See a PBS Administration documentation appendix for information on using this utility.
