The default species / sex entries for boxes and price are at subspecies / colour morph level.
So you will have separate entries for white and grey Gyr Falcons for example.
The name for the shipper address taken from the CITES signatory entry on the preferences page. This ensures that it will match your export CITES permit exporter.
In the address book we have added a new field, position within company.
This is enabled if there is a company name.
You will also need to enter this in the user registered address form
If the Shipper address contains a company name then this will be printed under the signatory name.
This ensures that they are signing the invoice on behalf of the company and not as an individual.
