Alternative Drop-Ship Addresses
If the client's SAP-based AVS (Address Validation Service) returns a set of possible alternatives for a provided Drop Ship address, pop-up a window that displays the alternatives, allows the user to select the desired alternative, then automatically overrides the entered Drop-Ship Address.

It would be a nice feature if there was some type of address validation for drop shipments. For example, validate the city exists within the state and the postal codes exists for a specific city and etc. UPS charges us every month to correct incorrect addresses generated by our systems.
FYI - I was doing some research for a project and came across these address validation APIs. Both USPS and UPS have free APIs that could be used to validate addresses. Here are the links to the two websites below.
