View source for CMS Handling the Honorifics for the customers

[[Category:Validated]]
==Purpose==
There are some of our clients that need to use different values than the predefined hard-coded list of Honorific values. While this is not presently a designed feature of CMS, there is a way to make it work. This article explains the steps necessary to create and use your own honorifics until such capabilities are built into CMS.

==Explanation==

In Customers Manager, the operator will be allowed to select from the list of available Honorific values. Custom values will not be recognized and will not be saved.

Here is a way to use custom typed Honorific codes:

1. You can type custom Honorific in Order Entry in '''any of the 3 customer addresses''' (Mailing/Shipping/Billing in the Customer/Shipping/Money screens) and that Honorific will save to the order's address in the database:

2. If the '''"Default Ship To"''' or '''"Default Bill To"''' flags are checked :

then the changes done to the address will also post and reflect on the customer's record in Customers Manager. Example:
