That is the easiest way. Consider this though.
Depending on how important you as a vendor are to the customer and how it is the purchasing agent agregates orders (ie does each branch make their "ABC, Inc order" or do they requisition specefic items and the purchasing agent sorts out the vendor? you may be able to position your company into their administrative process (which makes it harder for them to get rid of you) by having each branch manager place an order against their account and allow for the purchasing agent to approve/edit the order before it becomes their purchase order. If you were able to convince them of this strategy the branches would be able track their orders directly through your site as opposed to hunting down the purchasing agent to get the tracking info from you and then him relay it to the branch or worse having the purchasing agent allow other people to access his login. You would also know order specifics before the purchasing agent has placed the firm order. It also makes it easier to create reports for your customer based on branches or regions using party groups. I've hacked this implementation into my custom ecommerce app if you're interested in an idea on how to implement it. I've been trying to find the time to genericize it into the wholesale app. ----David wrote: This sounds like it is just a need for a user interface customization.

I will attempt to make the template changes for the multiple shipto's.
The approval process is exactly what I'm attempting to do. If you are able to share your changes I would greatly appreciate it. I have a crude version of this already using a link to "changeOrderItemStatus", a custom security group and <#if security.hasEntityPermission("ORDERMGR", "_UPDATE", session)> on the orderhistory page, but I'm not sure if this is secure.
