We have hospitals out of town that we purchase for; we are setting up Purch From locations but we want the ship to address to appear on the PO rather than having to type it at the header level each time. My thought was to set up IC02.1 locations with the correct ship to address and enter the location in the Ship to in PO20 but I am getting push back as others are stating this is for asset locations. But my understanding was that all asset locations were ship to locations but not all ship to locations were asset locations. These offsite locations are not assets; what is the best way to accomplish my goal? Any guidance or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

All asset locations are IC02 locations but not all IC02 locations are necessarily asset locations. Most of our supplies are delivered to our medical centers, which are also asset locations, and couriered out to other locations but we have a number of locations built for the exact reason you mention. For instance, our primary medical supplier sends a truck once a week to one of our nursing homes which is not an asset location. You won't cause any issues with accounting by building an IC02 location for this purpose. I don’t really understand the pushback.

We are looking to do something similar. If you create an additional IC02 location, do you need to create IC12 Item Location records as well?

If the unit cost defaults from an agreement and GL distribution information defaults from any number of other areas, you don't necessarily have to add IC12 records. A lot of organizations don't add nonstock items to IC12. But I like to add nonstock IC12 records regardless, especially to hold unit cost (last cost) if the item falls off contract or the contract expires and, since we use PO10.2, IC12.2 is the only place to direct replenishment correctly.
