Location & Ship To Codes

Location Codes contain the commonly seen address fields as detailed below. We follow an established criteria of formatting these fields to make our codes as consistent as possible for our Suppliers. Each field also includes specific character limitations.

Asset Management: Location Codes are used in the Asset Management module of PeopleSoft to identify the current physical location of the University’s Capital Equipment assets.

eProcurement: Location Codes are in the eProcurement module of PeopleSoft, primarily to facilitate accurate delivery of goods by MU Healthcare Receiving Dock staff (on certain types of HOSPT Business Unit requisitions).

Ship To Codes consist of just a few fields and pull most of their information from the corresponding Location Code table.

eProcurement: Ship To Codes are used on requisitions to communicate to the Supplier where items are to be delivered. The Ship To Code is set to one of several receiving docks (xxxRECV) for certain types of HOSPT business unit orders.

The name of the Department is included in a Location/Ship To Code (= Address 1).

There may be multiple users (eProcurement Requesters) using one Ship To Code for orders with multiple Suppliers. 

The Attention To field is part of every requisition and will default to the Requester Name that is creating the requisition. This field is editable and may be changed on any requisition.

The Attention To field is found by expanding Show Ship To and Accounting on the line on the Checkout-Review and Submit page when creating a requisition.
