PARTY_CONTACT_MECH_PURPOSE - This entity associates the address to a customer and defines its purpose. Reference entity CONTACT_MECH_PURPOSE_TYPE for the list of available purposes.

Our customers use many different adresses: - Home address - Work address - Thirdparty address - Thirdparty work address Each customer has a default (general or shipping/billing) address. We could not find an easy way to add and link these addresses in ofbiz without loosing information and duplicating content. Example with a thirdparty work address: We have to ship the order of customer "Marge Simpson" to a thirdparty work address: Company FOO -> PartyGroup (groupName) Homer Jay Simpson -> Person/Party (firstName middleName lastName) Workstreet 123 -> PostalAddress (address1) 11111 Biztown -> PostalAddress (postalCode city) But we were unable to link Homer's CompanyFoo's PostalAddress X with the customer (Marge Simpson) We can link: - Homer with Marge - Company with Marge - PostalAddress with Marge But there is now relation between all 3. The ofbiz way we found: Company FOO -> PostalAddress (toName) Homer Jay Simpson -> PostalAddress/Party (attentionName) Workstreet 123 -> PostalAddress (address1) 11111 Biztown -> PostalAddress (postalCode city) This way we loose the following information: - address = company address - firstname - lastname - middleName and we duplicate content. So, we have two questions: Is there a way to link such (standard) addresses? Can we flag an address as default (shipping) address? Best regards Greg
