Premise and SP Characteristics May Be Populated From Postal Defaults

If you specify a new premise on the order transaction and you complete the order, a new premise will be created. This premise's characteristics can be populated from two different sources:

• You could have designed the campaign to have its orders capture premise characteristics. You do this by adding miscellaneous fields to the campaign that are premise characteristics.
• You could have set up postal defaults for the premise's country and postal code.

If a given characteristic is referenced on both of the above, the characteristic value on the campaign is used as the premise's characteristic value.

As described above, service points may be created when a package is selected (it depends on the SA to Create algorithm that you've used on the selected package). The base package algorithms that create a new service point when a package is selected will populate the service point's characteristics using the information on the postal defaults (if specified). Refer to STRM-VT for an example of this type of SA to create algorithm.
