Initialize UD Fields in Invoice Entry

Version 8.03.405.

I have created customizations in Order Entry and Shipment Entry that allow for a One time Ship to Address to be used rather than having to create a new ship to address each time. The address is initially entered In Sales Order Entry and placed in the UD fields in the Order Header table (we do not ship to multiple address on the same order). This address is automatically transferred to the corresponding UD fields in the Shipment Header table during Customer Shipment entry. However, when it comes to Invoice Entry I cannot find a trigger to initialize the corresponding fields for each invoice if the "Get Shipments" procedure is used and more than one shipment is selected. I am able to get the UD fields to move for the first Invoice but not the others. I have looked at the trace log and I have trapped all of the adapters. There is nothing happening that I can trigger on except for the 1st record retrieved. It appears the data is being populated in the called "Get Shipments" program and the receiving program is only

I am using a FKV to get the data from the Order Header. This works extremely well in most cases. In fact in Invoice Entry, I am showing the values in the Order Header right next to the values that should be going into the Invoice Header. As I go through the Header List in Invoice Entry the Sales Order fields are populated which means the FKV is working correctly but the data is not being transferred to the appropriate Invoice UD fields. Even if the user saves the record nothing is being triggered unless they physically change the record.

It appears that I need to add a button to one of the panels that will invoke a routine to go through the header list and update the appropriate UD fields for each order. I have never done this before so I am unsure how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
