Deleting Bad Company Names

Overview

• If you use a shipper that charges different rates for residential and commercial deliveries, you may want to check for “bad” or “invalid” company names, such as Self, Home, N/A or None, on imported orders so you do not incur unnecessary expenses.
• Use the List Maintenance feature to build a list of company names for the program to look for and delete as orders are imported from your shopping cart.
• Both the Ship To and Bill To company name fields are checked. If any of the “bad” company names are found in these fields, they are omitted from the order.
• The Company Name fields are the only fields in the order information affected by this process.
