Our customers have multiple contacts and locations. The Ship To: Contact and Phone number selected when creating an invoice does not become a permanent part of the invoice. Sage tech support says it is not a "sticky data field". So if I add these fields to the packing slip the correct name and phone number does not show up.

I am pessimistic that SAGE will be able to correct a bad design in their database.
There are Data Facts and Data Lookups. While Data Lookups help keep a database small, the Data Facts for any given transaction must remain the same regardless of other actions in the database.
Understanding these differences is difficult to reconcile between the ideal database and the real-world of business. The Peachtree legacy is not a good start.
