Ecommerce ship to a party or partygroup address
Hi All
We are working on a custom checkout implementation and are stuck at the
address setup.
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

Greg,
Use the following entities:
PARTY_CONTACT_MECH - This entity associates the address to a customer.
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.
Regards
Len
