Ability to Bulk Update Trade Parties by Invoice Number - Entry Form Enhancement

Description:
As a filer, I need the ability to bulk update the name and address of a Manufacturer, Seller, Consignee, Buyer, or Ship To using header level Update Lineitems feature by invoice number. Currently, when multiple invoice numbers exist within an entry, using the Update LineItems link for a trading partner at the header level applies the update to all CBP lines in the entry across all invoice numbers.

I propose introducing a feature that allows users to choose whether to update a trading partner for all invoices in the entry or limit the update to a specific invoice number. This flexibility would streamline bulk line updates and help ensure data accuracy, especially for complex entries with multiple invoices.

Impact:
This enhancement would:

• Provide greater control over bulk trading partner updates.

• Reduce the need for manual edits.

• Save time for filers managing entries with multiple invoice numbers.

• Minimize errors caused by unintended updates across unrelated invoices.

Proposed Solution:
When a user selects the "Update LineItems" link for a trade partner at the header level of the entry form, they would be presented with the following options before selecting to apply the update:

1. All Invoices: Updates all CBP lines in the entry with the selected trading partner information from the header.

2. Specific Invoice Number: Updates only the CBP lines associated with the selected invoice number while leaving trading partner information for other invoices unchanged.

This feature would ensure precise updates while maintaining the flexibility to handle entries with varying invoice structures efficiently.
