This will give us the ability to capture the shipping account info for a party. So at least we could populate a notes field to notify sales reps. But we would still need to create any logic, right? For example, when selecting a shipment method look for content mechs for the party on the order of type "Shipping Account" or something like that. That still doesn't give us the ability to pass an alternate billing account number to the shipping company. We would have to take this all the way to it's logical conclusion in order to automate.
