For large customers with many locations use Contacts to add their Ship-To Addresses. Using Contact and Update Contact imports is easy to manage hundreds or thousands.
For each Contact you can set their Shipping Method, Freight, and sales tax Tax Status. These entries load automatically when you set Ship-To manually or by Auto-Import.

Department Prefs
Department Prefs let you repurpose the Department field, for some a matter of course.
Department is in the middle of transaction windows and its intent not wholly obvious.
Consequently it is adapted to needs such as freight terms, fulfillment status, and so on.

Since Last
Since Last lets you get orders from Shopify without changing their Status to Archived.
Shopify Connect uses Status to get orders that are Open and setting them to Archived. This may interfere with using Shopify Dashboard or accessories for order management.
Switch to Since Last with a click and BigBusiness will get new orders as they come in.
