We have a UDF in SO_ShipToAddress and then we have the UDF displaying on the totals tab of the SO. If we add information to this UDF on the fly in SO entry in ship to address maint it does not appear on the totals tab. The only way it displays in the totals tab is if you add info to the UDF outside of  SO entry and then create the SO after. Is there anyway to edit the UDF while in SO entry and have it display on the totals tab. Maybe a script attached to the UDF? Mas90 4.50.2.

Should the UDF value on the Totals tab always match the value of the UDF in Ship To Maintenance?

If yes, I would write a script to do the opposite.  When the value of the Totals UDF changes, a script would run to update the UDF of the Ship To Address record.

You could also not have a UDF on the Sales Order side, but instead display (as read-only) the value of the Ship To UDF in Sales Order.

What about situations where you have multiple orders for a customer with the same ship to address?  Should the change of the ship to address record be reflected back to all existing (and the one currently be entered) orders?

Regardless, there will be a way to accomplish this.

Whatever the value is in the UDF on the ship to address record is what needs to appear on the UDF on the totals tab. But this only works it you make the changes outside of SO entry. The problem is that most of the edits are done on the fly while in a SO. It's not just UDF's that have this issue. I tested making an on the fly change in ship to address maint to the zip code field while in sales order entry and that change wasn't reflected  on the address tab. Thank you for your input.
