Sale Order Import with Extended Addresses

This is a small glue module that works together with the sale order import tool and the extended address feature. It does not add any new screen or menu of its own; it changes what happens behind the scenes while importing sale orders from a file.

When the import creates a new customer because the address in the file does not match an existing contact, the module takes the street text coming from the file and separates it into a street name and a house number. The street name is stored in the street name field, the number in the street number field, and any extra part (such as a box or suffix) in the second street number field.

• If no street name can be detected, the whole street text is kept as the street name.
• If no number is found, the number fields are simply left empty.
• Existing values already provided for the number fields are not overwritten.

This only affects the customer creation step of the sale order import wizard (sale.order.import). It relies on the standard address fields added by the extended address module, so imported contacts follow the same address format as manually created ones.
