SuiteCRM 8 Installed with Virtualmin Pro 8.10 and Need New Module Setup

📦 Install & Upgrade Help
1

New here, I have installed SuiteCRM 8 with Virualmin Pro. The installation went smooth and with the help of Grok I was able to add the cron job scheduler, which i was amazed how accurate Grok was.

My next task is to modify the ship to address in accounts module or create a new module for the ship to address. In my case I need it to pick any account as the ship to or have many ship to address. Some of our account have need ship to many.

Even two different account can ship to the same address. Is that even possible?

Hope I explanation was not confusing.

Thank you

Ralph

You could do these things:

  1. Create custom module for Ship to.
  2. Define many-to-many relationship between accounts and ship to while creating this new module.

Hello Ralph,

there is a standard module in SuiteCRM: Locations

You could use that as shipping address. In the standard setup, it’s related only to Events.

A straightforward approach would be to create a relationship via Studio, linking Accounts to Locations in a 1:n relationship (one Account to multiple Locations).

To make the setup more practical, you could also extend the Location module with additional fields - for example, a checkbox such as “Main Shipping Address” - to clearly identify the default delivery location, along with any other relevant address-related details.
