Purpose of this document
Vendor Order Addresses provide the ability to have one or more order addresses per vendor. During purchase order entry, the order address can be selected to designate which address the vendor is shipping the product from. Supplemental Addresses is another option for this type of tracking, and a food bank should choose to use one OR the other. Discuss with your Ceres service center to determine which works best with your workflow.
Ceres Object release 5.00.00 is required for the functionality described in this document.

are populated with the default address setup on the General FastTab of the Vendor Card if no supplemental
addresses are setup. If supplement addresses are setup, a different address will populate. See the
Supplemental Address documentation for more details.
3. In the Alternate Order Address Code field on the General FastTab, select or input the Order Address Code
you want to use for this order.

order address and then select Home à Manage à Edit to open the Supplemental Address Card.
