Ship to location is not being automatically determined.
Cause
The ship to location (site) is not referenced to the project. Even if there is only one location in the system it is not possible to see if the delivery address is determined by end buyer(Customer) or recipient or from ship to location. So system does not default anything but give the user possibility to enter a location.
Resolution
When a Project Purchase Request is created, the delivery address is derived from fields 1st is Recipient , second is Customer and finally ship-to location.
You have to enter ship-to location manually and then delivery address will be taken from the location.
