1. Create a UDF (User Defined Field) for the marketing document header.
2. Create a custom query and insert the code below into the query statement area. The query below will take the Ship-To Code selected and go to the Business Partner Master and get the correct Ship-To State. It will also look for a comma on a custom address (where a ship to code is not selected) and pull the state code from the two characters after the ", ":
   Select Case When $[ShipToCode] = ‘ ‘ Then Case When CHARINDEX(‘,’,$[Address2])= 0 Then ‘??’ Else Substring($[Address2], CHARINDEX(‘,’,$[Address2])+1,2) END Else (Select ADR.State From CRD1 ADR Where $[CardCode] = ADR.CardCode and $[ShipToCode] = ADR.Address and ADR.ADRESTYPE = ‘S’)END
3. Now you can tie a query to the UDF (User Defined Field) you created on a Marketing Document. You will have to assign the query on each marketing document you want the query to run on (e.g., Sales Order, Delivery Doc, etc.). Note: This query was assigned to run automatically when the Ship to field changed. That can be assigned on the Search Definition on the field.

Click on the Add Button a window appears.
This window will allow you to add a new field to the Database and it will allow you to access that field on the marketing documents (such as the sales order).

Go to a marketing document (such as a sales order) and then, select from the drop down menu at the top of the screen: View->User Defined Fields. The screen will probably re-draw and a new box to the right of the main sales order screen will appear. You will see the field you created.
