[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-603) Shipping entry does not provide the
ability for the user to select whether you're shipping to a business or a
residence?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12462812 ]
David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-603:
--------------------------------------
I've thought about this a bit since almost every time a ship a package they ask about this, but strangely I haven't really received a request about this... Thinking about it now I wonder why this is, perhaps for certain bulk rates, or volume discounts rather, it doesn't matter so much.
Anyway, the natural place for this in the data model is a PartyContactMechPurpose record denoted a home or work address. In the UI this could be implemented as a check-box or something to make it easier to add this purpose.

> I'm not sure about the other providers, but I know for UPS you can send along a different flag in the XML that indicates whether or not they're shipping to a residence or a business address. This DOES in fact affect the estimate that UPS provides. I believe that this option should be in the interface and should get built into the shipping feeds to the providers as people find a necessity. Thoughts?
