Never hurts to state the obvious. This way we make sure it gets done.

Maybe a drop shipping interface that allows you to copy shipto's from a customer or sales order /invoice into a vendor invoice or purchase order? Technically, I don't think it is gaap-compliant to copy from a sales invoice to a vendor invoice because one should not invoice until after the vendor has shipped, but I suspect that it may be OK if one can void it later if it doesn't ship.
