New BillTo Addresses Created as ShipTo Address After Synch

Question

The default functionality in WebTools 2007 appears to be that new addresses created in WebTools are always created as ShipTo addresses in SAP B1.  This occurs even if the new address is created on the WebTools billing page.
The problem is that one of our customers creates new BPs for a majority of the new cusomters in E-Commerce.  When these new customers create an order, the billto and shipto addresses are synched to the BP record but both are ShipTo addresses.  Therefore, the BP does not have a BillTo address.  Many of their reports and processes are dependent upon the BillTo address.
In SAP 2007A, you can now have multiple BillTo addresses.  Are there any plans to allow new BillTo addresses to synch to SAP B1 as BillTo addresses?
If so how soon can this be expected?

Answer 1

Pardon  my ignorance, but I assume the address updating is reliant on the DI. Does Note 1146415 have relevance here?  (Shows up in the Fix List for SBO2007A Patch 42).
Symptom
Ship-To address is updated incorrectly when it has the same name as the
Bill-To address.
Scenario:
Via application:
1. Add a new business partner "Test";
2. Add a new Ship To address to the business partner with:
    Address Name: new
    Street: ship
3. Update the Business Partner;
4. Add a new Bill To address to the business partner with:
    Address Name: new
    Street: Bill
5. Update the Business Partner.
Ensure the following:
The Ship-To address has the same name as the Bill To address.
The row number in the CRD1 table of the Bill-To address is bigger than the row number of the Ship-To address.
Via the DI try to update the business partner:
    Dim oBP As SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners
    Set oBP = vCmp.GetBusinessObject(oBusinessPartners)
    oBP.GetByKey (txtDocEntry.Text)
    ErrCode = oBP.Update()
Actual Results:
The Ship To address has changed. The data from the Bill To address
was copied to the Ship To address.
Expected results:
No changes in the Business Partner Master data.
Other terms
CRD1, DI, Ship To address, Bill To address, BP, Business Partner, Update.
