This record is used in some customizations to specify the address that the Vendor will ship PO items to. If you are using the Standard customization, the Location record will be used instead.
In some customizations, this record is referenced in the Vendor record as an optional field that could be completed if your company has a single manufacturing facility, or if a vendor ships primarily to a certain facility. The Vendor Ship To would then default from the Vendor record on a Purchase Order (but may be changed if needed). Note: Either the Vendor Ship To or the Location field must be completed on a Purchase Order in order for the shipping address to print!
If your company had facilities in three cities, you could create one Vendor Ship To record for each facility. The Purchase Order could then specify the facility requiring the items, avoiding transshipment costs.
