When working with TNew we have just been told that TNew will not work unless households have an address on the household.
(If you have households without addresses as we do. You run into a strange looping condition with TNew where a customer tries to place an order. Is told that their household does not have an address. The customer is invited to add an address. Has their credit card authorized, and then does not get a valid order in the system.)
Given the changes in V14 with Contact Points and Contact Point Purposes. What are folks current suggestions about best practices, for dealing with household for which you don't know a real address? Continue to put in a bogus address like
Street1: Unknown Address
City: Jersey City
State: NJ
Postal Code: 07202
Or are there better ideas?
We adopt the principle that the household address should be the same as the primary initiator so if a primary initiator adds or updates their address it also writes to the household record. While we don't use TNEW here I've always agreed with the concept that if there is a household all contributions and tickets should be placed on the household setting an initiator for who did what.
Contact Permissions and Contact Point Purposes should always be placed on the individual while acting as an initiator to a household so that you know who wants to be contacted and how. It may well be that one person wants to be contacted within a household and the other doesn't.
Hope that helps.
