When you send the shipping details to UPS, you can enter several email addresses which will be sent emails automatically from UPS's systems as the package travels through their system. We would need a way to store this data into the system, and the multiple 'addresses' per company seems the most logical. I don't expect this to be added to the core system, of course. It's more of an example of things besides Shipping + Billing that we'll need to store, and things that may not even have physical mailing addresses. > > Also, we have to be able to let invoices also have multiple address > > objects per record.

In the specific application I'm thinking of, for some customers that do a lot of mail order stuff, we set the Ship from address to an RMA center(I think) that they maintain. It's an address that is different from Billing and Shipping. We don't do this, but it's conceivable that the ship from address can change based on where we ship the final package to, (ie, maybe several RMA Centers scattered about the country) Jason
