Purpose of this document

 

Supplemental Addresses can be used to document additional addresses for various entities. They are in addition to the base site address and shipping address. Supplemental Addresses are available for Parent Agencies, Agencies, Parent Vendors, Vendors, Parent Donors, Donors, and Food Drive Donors.

 

Ceres Object release 5.00.00 is required for the functionality described in this document.

Supplemental Address Options

 

The following options are supported with Supplemental Addresses.  Multiple addresses of a given Type can be defined per source. However, only one address (at a time) can be marked as the default for the source. For example, you can have multiple address of Type Billing Address but only one of them can be marked as the Default Billing Address for a given Agency. 

 

Billing Address - This option applies to Parent Agencies and Agencies.  A Send to Parent Billing Address field exists on the Invoicing FastTab of the Agency Card.  Check the Send to Parent Billing Address field if you want the Parent Agency’s billing address to be the default instead of the Agency’s billing address.

 

 

 

Mailing Address - This option applies to Parent Agencies, Agencies, Parent Vendors, Vendors, Parent Donors, Donors, and Food Drive Donors.  A Send to Parent Mailing Address field exists on the Invoicing FastTab of the Agency, Vendor, and Donor Cards.  Check the Send to Parent Mailing Address field if you want the Parent Agency, Parent Vendor, or Parent Donor mailing address to be the default instead of the Agency, Vendor, or Donor mailing address.

 

 

Ship-To Address.   This option applies to Agencies only.   Each site should decide whether they are going to use the Supplemental Ship-To Address functionality or the base Ceres Ship-To Address functionality.   Both should not be deployed.   The Supplement Ship-To Address will automatically flow to the Agency Order whereas the Ship-To Address will only flow if a Ship-To Code is manually selected on the Agency Order. See Agency Ship To Addresses for more information on that functionality.

 

Buy-from / Order Address – This option applies to Vendors only.

 

Statement Address – This option applies to Parent Agencies and Agencies.  A Send to Parent Statement Address field exists on the Invoicing FastTab of the Agency Card.  Check this field if you want to send the statement to the Parent Agency’s Statement address.

 

 

Supplemental Addresses Setup        

 

Supplemental Addresses can be accessed from Parent Agencies, Agencies, Parent Vendors, Vendors, Parent Donors, Donors and Food Drive Donors, from the Card or List:

 

1. From the Card or List click Navigate à Supplemental Addresses.  You will see the listing of Supplemental

    Addresses that exist within Ceres for that record. Below is an example of how to access the Supplemental

    Addresses from an Agency.

 

 

2. The Supplemental Address List is displayed.

 

3. Click Home à New to create a new Supplemental Address. 

 

 

 

4. The Supplemental Address Card Page is displayed.   Update the Card as needed.  A description of the fields

    follows:

 

 

No.:  This is the main identifier for the Supplemental Address, which can be entered as any combination of text and numbers.  To manually assign a No, input a value in the No. field.  Alternatively you can have a Supplement Address No automatically assigned by tabbing off the field if setup or clicking on the ellipsis button, selecting a No. Series form the List, and then clicking the OK button. 

 

For automatic numbering, you must first input a No. Series in the Suppl. Address Nos. field on the Numbering FastTab of the Agencies & Receivables Setup, Purchases & Payables Setup, and Donation Setup.  Below is an example of the Agencies & Receivables Setup.

5. Click the OK button to complete the setup of the Shared Supplemental Address.


Sharing a Supplemental Address

 

Once a Shared Supplemental Address has been created, it can be associated (shared) with other sources (Agency, Donor, Vendor, etc.). To associate a Shared Supplement Address with a Source, go to the List or Card Page for the desired Source. In this example we’ll share the newly created Shared Supplemental Address with an Agency.  However, the steps shown here also apply to associate a Shared Address with any other source type (Donor, Parent Donor, Vendor, Parent Vendor, etc.).

 

1. From the List or Card Page for the desired source, click Navigate à Supplemental Addresses.

 

 

2. Click Actions à New to create a new Supplemental Address.

 

 

3. One the Supplemental Address Card Page, ensure that the No. has been updated and then click the Copy

    Supplemental Address Action Item.

 

 

   

4. The Copy Supplemental Address Page will be displayed. 

 

 

Copy from Shared Address - Place a check mark here to see only Shared Address via the No. dropdown. Leave unchecked to see a listing of non-Shared Addresses.

 

Source Type - Select the Source for the “Copy-from” address.

 

No. - Select the address to be copied into the newly created address.

 

5. Once the appropriate address to copy has been specified, click the OK button. Ceres will display a

    confirmation dialog.  Click Yes to continue or No to cancel the operation.

 

Note: The Copy Supplemental Address process is available for both Shared and non-Shared Address. Thus you can copy any address into an existing address. Further, the Copy Supplemental Address process enforces singular defaults. Thus if the Shared or non-Shared Address is marked as a default (e.g. Default Ship-to Address) and the source being copied to already has an address marked as the Default Ship-to Address, Ceres will halt the process with an informative error. 

 

6. Return to the Supplemental Address List Page to view all of the addresses. Shared Supplemental Addresses

    are bolded so they can easily be distinguished from non-Shared Addresses.

 

 

7. Shared Addresses can only be administered (created or modified) from the Shared Address Page as noted

    above. When opening the Card Page for an associated Shared Supplement Address (such as the one we

    created in this example), the Card Page will be displayed in its non-editable state.

Supplemental Address Flow

 

Supplemental Addresses use the same logic as general addresses in how they flow to document headers. Below is an outline as to how addresses flow.

 

Agency Addresses

 

Physical (Site) Address: Recommend using the address fields on General FastTab of the Agency Card as the physical site address. This address will flow to the General FastTab of the Agency Order if a Supplemental Mailing Address does not exist.

 

Shipping and Billing FastTab of the Agency Order - No Agency Supplemental Addresses setup. 

 

 

 

  

 

Shipping and Billing FastTab of the Agency Order - Send to Parent Mailing Address checked and a Parent Agency Supplemental Mailing Address Setup.

 

 

Default Billing Address: Supplemental Billing Address. This address will flow to the Invoicing FastTab of the Agency Order.  If no Supplemental Address is found, Ceres will flow the address on the General FastTab of the Agency Card.  However, if the Send to Parent Billing Address field on the Invoicing FastTab of the Agency Card is checked, Ceres will use the address from the Parent Agency. That address can be a Supplemental Address or the general address.

 

General FastTab of the Agency Order - Send to Parent Billing Address not checked and no Agency Supplemental Address setup.

 

 

General FastTab of the Agency Order - Send to Parent Billing Address checked.

 

 

Note:  A Parent Agency Supplemental Billing Address must be setup for address to flow

 

Default Ship-To Address: Supplemental Shared Pick-up or Supplemental Ship-To Address. This address will flow to the Shipping and Billing FastTab of the Agency Order. If no Supplemental Address is found, Ceres will flow the address fields on the General FastTab of the Agency Card to the Shipping and Billing FastTab of the Agency Order.  However if a Ship-To Code is selected on the Agency Order and no Supplement Shared Pick-up Address is found, then the Ship-To Address will flow to the Shipping and Billing FastTab of the Agency Order.

 

Shipping FastTab of the Agency Order – Shared Supplemental Address setup for Agency

 

 

Default Statement Address:  The Statement Address does not flow to the Agency Order.  Instead it is used when printing the Parent Agency Statement or the Agency Statement.

 

Agency Statement Billing Address - Send to Parent Statement Address not checked

 

 

 

 

 

Agency Statement Billing Address - Send to Parent Statement Address checked

 

 

Vendor Addresses

 

Physical Address:  Recommend using the address fields on General FastTab of the Vendor Card as the physical address. This address will flow to the General FastTab of the Purchase Order if no Supplemental Mailing Address is found. 

 

General FastTab of the Purchase Order - No Supplemental Addresses setup.

 

 

Default Mailing Address: Supplemental Mailing Address. This address will flow to the General FastTab of the Purchase Order. If no Supplemental Address is found, Ceres will use the address on the General FastTab of the Vendor Card. However, if the Send to Parent Mailing Address field on the Invoicing FastTab of the Vendor Card is checked, Ceres will use the address from the Parent Vendor. That address can be a Supplemental Address or the general address

 

General FastTab of the Purchase Order – Vendor Mailing Supplemental Address and Send to Parent Mailing Address not checked

 

 

Donor and Food Drive Donor Addresses

 

Physical Address:  Recommend using the address fields on General FastTab of the Donor and Food Drive Donor Card. The address will flow to the General FastTab of the Donation Order if no Supplemental Mailing Address is found. 

 

General FastTab of the Donation Order - With no Supplemental Addresses

 

 

 

Default Mailing Address:  Supplemental Mailing Address. This address will flow to the General FastTab of the Donation Order. If no Supplemental Address is found, Ceres will use the address on the General FastTab of the Donor Card. However, if the Send to Donor Mailing Address field on the Invoicing FastTab of the Donor Card is checked, Ceres will use the address from the Parent Donor. That address can be a Supplemental Address or the general address.

 

 

General FastTab of the Donation Order – With Supplemental Address and Send to Parent Mailing Address not checked

Reports

 

 

Whatever address (general or supplemental) is on the various FastTabs of the un-posted documents will automatically flow to the posted document when the transaction is posted.  The address on the posted documents is used when printing document reports, such as the Agency Invoice or the Posted Donation Receipts.   For other reports, such as the Agency Statement, the address that prints is based on the Supplemental Address setup.

 

Below is a List of reports that support Supplemental Addresses:
