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
Contact: Optional contact name for the location Name.
Ship–To Location: It is the receiving dock. Usually the same as the location Name. You could select a separate, previously defined Ship–To Location—for example, if you wanted to create a location Name, Office A, and specify Receiving Dock A as its Ship–To Location. In this example, Receiving Dock (A) is the ship–to site for Office A; therefore, Office (A) itself cannot also be the ship–to site.
