Create Billing and Shipping Address List​

​Introduction

Administrators can create a list of billing and shipping addresses as well as the address for their agency that will print on the purchase order. Requesters and purchasers can then select from the address list when they create line items for requisitions or purchase orders in order to specify different addresses for shipping and billing.

The Address screen is comprised of the list of any addresses that you have saved  and a form to add a new address or update an existing one.

2. Complete the address fields as needed.

  • The Phone number must be entered without a hyphen (e.g., 5552222).

6. Check Default Shipping, Default Billing, or PO Form Address. (The PO Form Address will be your agency’s address printed on the purchase order.)

7. Click Add New Address.

8. To add another address, click Cancel (this will clear the form but not cancel the address just added.)
