Addresses used in X Dispatch go through an address validation process. Using validated addresses guarantees the address is real and prevents potential delivery issues. Different third-party validation services are available, some at an additional monthly charge. Please contact your CXT Software Account Manager for more details. 

Addresses can be global or customer specific. For Inet Addresses, which are created and maintained on the internet user records, see Internet User (Address Book).

  3. Enter a Customer ID for the address to be customer specific. The default is set to 0, meaning all customers can use the address. See Global Address vs Customer Specific Address for more information.

Global Address vs Customer Specific Address

A global address is available when placing orders for any customer in X Dispatch.  A customer specific address is available to only that specific customer ID during order placement inside X Dispatch.

Note

"Allow Customer Address Points" in the Orders tab of the customer record must be checked to view customer specific addresses. See Customers - New/Edit Customer for more information.

Example

Customer 1 has a customer specific address for the Phoenix Zoo. 

...

However, if the Phoenix Art Museum is set up as a global address, where the Customer ID is set to 0, then both Customer 1 and Customer 1106 can see the Phoenix Art Museum address.
