Customer (Receiver) EORI field should be added as field in the address book
Our address book contains saved details for regular customers, covering 99% of our orders. With the upcoming Windsor Agreement, an additional field should be introduced in the address book to store customers’ EORI numbers. This would eliminate the need to manually enter the EORI each time an order is created. Instead, it should be saved within the address book and automatically populated when placing an order, ensuring a more efficient and seamless process.

Any delivery to Northern Ireland by a business now needs the customs declaration fields filling in to comply with the Windsor Framework. If there were fields available in the address book to store EORI and UKIMS numbers, these could be automatically added to a job rather than copy / paste entry, or manual entry which leads to errors. If the customer was not UKIMS registered and the account holder was declaring, the system could use the account holder's EORI number and UKIMS number stored in the company details field.

For now we've added EORI to address line 3 to copy/paste for all affected customers until Royal Mail find a solution, but this is slowing down our processes having to manually change all NI shipments
