A number of database changes were made in version 9.0 to support our improved handling of multiships and recipients. This article covers the related changes to the database.

Recipients

Feature Summary

As for the Order Entry process itself, what you would mostly notice includes:

• Recipients can be assigned "OE handles", i.e. user labels that can be different from the names on the shipping address proper. These are saved and come back up when an order is retrieved. This includes solid support for a single addressee that embodies multiple recipients.
• As long as the order contains at least one item, recipients, including imported recipients, are saved with or without items assigned. There is now a delete recipients button to help manage this.
• Changing a recipient address that is loaded from the customer records, no longer changes any base customer addresses.
• Changing an address that is shared with another order (this would be an address from the customer records) no longer changes other orders' addresses that were shared.

Related DB Changes

Recipients now have their own table:

And Orders have a correlation table:

- ItemsOrd includes a Recipient ID:

The Package table retains Recip_ID from before; you might still find Gift Notes there but this is short term and they really should be taken from the Recipient table now and will soon be removed altogether.
