How an Account is Copied in Reseller's BSS

The accounts we create in reseller's BSS will have the following values:

• Generic Fields (name, email, industry etc.). We will copy all fields
• Custom Fields. We don’t copy them since we haven’t imported any custom fields in reseller’s BSS 
• Ordering Options. The account will be marked as enabled for ordering and he will be defined as a direct customer of the reseller (i.e the option “set account ordering options” will be checked)
• Country. If for the account there is at least on address in your BSS, we will get the country from the first address and we'll use it as account's country. If there isn’t any address defined, we will upse use the country of the reseller as defined in your BSS.

• State. The same rule that applies for the country field.
