BPM to Hold Shipment (V8.03)

Soory for not being clearer. I actually need help implementing a BPM.

Some have directed me to the BPM folder of the files section of this group, but I haven't found a nice basic example of implementing a BPM.

Can anyone give me the basic steps to start with?

I need a way to prevent a shipment if the ShipTo address has not been validated. A BPM seems the way to go, but I'm open to any idea.

Here's some background/details/ideas:

1. Products are shipped to construction sites, and the exact Ship To address may not be know when the order is entered.

2. We're using TaxConnect, so the address needs to validated by the system. This sets the 'AddressVal' field in the Customer & ShipTo tables.

3. We want Orders and Jobs to proceed, but halt at the Packer.

I thought the point to make the check would be when the Order number is entered into the Customer Shipment process. It seems that this is the point when the ShipTo in the Order is copied to the ShipTo in the Packer.

I'm fairly good with the inner workings of of Vantage, I've done BAM's, BAQs, custom reports, made product configurators, and customizations. But I've never done anything with the BPM functions.

I would add a checkbox to the sales order saying that the ship-to has
been validated and then use a BPM at the packer to act on that
information. You could also use the change log on the sales order to
track who and when the ship-to was validated.
