Two things that would be great improvements for those stores which input a significant quantity of order by hand (phone order, mail order, in-person):
1. Implement the shipping/billing profile copying for admin order creation
2. Create an autocomplete field for these profiles, accessing (by name line) all customer profiles within the whole system. This is necessary because (in our use case anyway) orders created manually are assigned to "anonymous".

Which brings up the question: is this the best place to implement the second feature I mentioned?
Comment #3
brephraim commentedThis too: http://drupal.org/node/1525294
So there's at least three different modules that have this feature request.

andyg5000I had this same need for this for several clients. I've created a sandbox module that provides this functionality and some others to enhance the admin interface (at least for my needs). Maybe some of the code can be extracted to commerce_order_ui in the future :D

bojanz commentedThe module from #4 is now at https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_admin_order_advanced
Users needing this functionality should use it. It's too late to change D7 Commerce in major ways.
