Which Delivery Address is First?

For accounts that have more than 1 delivery address, which is the delivery address that is selected automatically when you create a new transaction?  In version 7.1 of HLMSW or earlier it would be based on the alphabetic order of the addresses.  This can lead to problems if a user does not check that the correct address is selected when a new transaction is created.

So in version 7.2 the new delivery address system has a lot more flexibility to make sure that the correct delivery, contract and licence address is always selected when creating new transactions.  The key to this is to use the Default selections in the Delivery Address Editor.

You can always see which address is marked as Default by matching the style to the names in the list (Bold is the default dispatch address, Italic is the default Contract Address and Underlined is the License Address).

It is recommended that you define a default address for every account, but what happens if you do not?

Well,  Contract and Licence Addresses will have the Invoice Address selected and the Delivery Address will use the old system of the first address in alphabetical order.  If you would like the Invoice address to be also selected by default if there is no default Delivery Address, then you must select the NEW Select Invoice Address if no Default option (available in Build 7.2.0.83 of HLMSW) in the Extended Dispatch Address Configuration window (available on the Maintenance Tab in the HLMSW Config Editor).
