BC Break report?	no
RFC?	no

Definition

• It should be possible to assign customers to a company object
• There should be no BC break and also no change in the current workflow but should allow us to decide which workflow we want to use

Company Object

• Introduce new object company
• Fields: name

Customer Object

• Add optional 1-to-1 relation field for company

Addresses

Address assignment: By default, every address object gets assigned to a customer object. This is standard by now and should stay that way except if a customer is bounded to company: There should be a configuration event for that:

• User can choose addresses from company
• User can/cannot add new addresses to himself or to company

Registration

Guest Registration: Same as now. New customer object with isGuest flag
Default Registration: Same as now. New customer object with given data. But: there should be a possibility to hook into this process: If a user needs to set a company name, I may want to create a company object and append the user to it by automatization.

Cart

After a user has been logged in, we're able to detect a company by hasCompanyRelation(). By default, this should be enough.

Checkout

Addresses: See Address section. Which address should be shown? Make it configurable:

• Addresses from company
• Addresses from customer
• Addresses from company and customer

Backend

• Add new configuration panel customer
• Add new sub configuration Customer to New Company
  • Create companyobject by adding a name (check for duplicates)
  • Move customer as child object to new company
  • Allow choosing between keep addresses to customer or move addresses to company
  • Fire Event to allow projects to do some more data assignment
• Add new sub configuration Customer to Existing Company
  • Choose customer and company
  • Move customer as child object to new company
  • Allow choosing between keep addresses to customer or move addresses to company
  • Fire Event to allow projects to do some more data assignment
• Show Company field in Order Overview if available

Migration

• Create new company object

great idea, already had two use cases especially when you have to connect SAP via API etc.
would still recommend to add a VAT number field in the register process, with a already exist validation.
nice to have: special rules, condition based on company for custom prices, shipping and payment
