Change an order’s billing contact without changing its customer

Separate recipient details, billing party and the customer relationship before amending an order.

Classify the requested relationship change

Synthetic O-199 belongs to customer C-51. Moving its billing email from accounts-a to accounts-b within C-51 is a recipient update. Asking to bill a different organisation C-52 is a billing-party change requiring a decision on the order baseline. Neither change automatically transfers completed work or the customer record. Use fictional endpoint labels rather than real addresses in this worksheet.
