Is there any built-in functionality behind the Address Class options?

Hi Sean,
The Address Class is a USI defined field & the purpose is a reference point for the back office user to know if this is the main address, bill to address etc. There is no additional functionality behind it. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you,
Erin Luber

Thanks Erin,
Only - how does the Back Office user know this? They only see the Address Type Description don't they?

If a member has more than one address (main & billing), is there a way to select which address to use when invoicing? (We have several members who want their venue address to show as their main address but have a different billing address for invoicing.)
