 Ship-To Location = XXManufacturing

9. Check to make sure the site is a Ship-To, Receiving Site, Office Site, Internal Site and Bill-
To Site.

Note: Selecting the check boxes means that you are making the Location Name a valid
location in the list of values on a Purchasing document. For example, selecting Ship-To Site
makes the location name a valid choice in the list of values for the Ship-To field on a
purchase order header. Note that if you define a default Ship-To or Bill-To Location in the
Supplier-Purchasing region of the Financials Options window for your organization that is
the location that defaults onto your purchase orders. But if you wanted to change that
default, the Location Name that you define here and enable as a Ship-To or Bill-To site is
available in the list of values for you to choose from in the Ship-To or Bill-To fields.
