How would we go about limiting the delivery method options for online orders? We have events that we offer online at venues that do not have a will-call so we need to be able to control what methods are available to make sure a patron cannot choose a HABO option for an event that does not handle will-call.
Thanks for your help.

Can you sell these events via a specific MOS?
Then you can just map the delivery method to the MOS via TX_MOS_SHIP_METHOD
Ok, so I decided to set up the restriction by MOS like Mark suggested. In TX_MOS_SHIP_METHOD, I associaed Mail as the only ship method for that MOS. However, when I create an online order using that MOS, the API is still returning HABO as an option when I use getaddressandshipping method.
??? What gives? Any thoughts?
From the System Tables document in the TX_MOS_SHIP_METHOD table section:
The system default ship method (ID -1 Hold at Box Office) and the default ship method for a mode of sale are always valid, regardless of whether or not they are associated with a mode of sale in this table.
So that table is good to limit all other delivery methods, but not the Hold at Box Office method. On the Tessitura side there is no way to limit that particular delivery method.

I am bumping this post as I have a follow up question...
Is it possible to re-name the HABO shipping method? We have a seperate Venue Will Call delivery method and having this along side the HABO as an option is confusing some patrons.
I realized that through MOS, the HABO becomes default once you have reached your n days out from show, but venue will call is essentially the same thing for us. If we could rename the -1 ID then this would take care of the confusion.
Do all procedures that reference HABO refer to the ID in the table or is HABO hard coded into anything?
