Billing address for ecommerce

[iwolf]

Hi all,

I need some help to understand how to work with billing addresses - especially for ecommerce.

I have set up a completely new instance from the actual 12.04 trunk. Run build, load-demo, load-seed.

1) When I go to party manager, choose a party (person) and add "new contact method" - there is no billing address to choose. As far as I understood ofbiz by now - looking at ./applications/party/data/PartyTypeData.xml: <ContactMechPurposeType contactMechPurposeTypeId="BILLING_LOCATION" description="Billing (AP) Address"/> - it should be there. I also tried to import this line with the manual import - no error, but it does not show up either. Maybe someone has a hint where to look - I guess I overlook something.
2) My goal is to give the customer the option to define wether the billing address equals the shipping address or not. Is there something like a standard procedure to set this up?

Thanks for any help!

Please skip question one: just found out, that after creating a postal addresse - when I edit the address again - I can choose the address type, in my example the billing address.
