Purchase Orders: Is there a way to prevent "Ship To" information from auto-filling?

Question

When I create a purchase order, the "Ship To" information automatically fills from the job record. But sometimes we want items to be shipped to a different address or will-called. Is there a way to prevent "ship to" from auto-filling, so that users have to manually enter shipping information every time?

Richie, 
 The work around we use is: in 6-6-1 under "Type" we have 1-Standard, 2-Drop Ship, 4-Will Call, etc. When you select to print the PO select Edit-Form Design. Within the form design I changed the ship to fields to a calculated fields so if we choose 1-Standard it fills in our address, 2-Drop Ship it fills from the job record and 4-Will Call it leaves address blank. Note this is done with If statements in Form Design. Below is how I setup our PO screen. Note I changed the name of address field 1(pchord.addrs1) to Client Name, so our purchasing person knows to move the address down 1 field and replace with Client's name when drop shipping. Also below is one of the formula I used.
