Addresses (X Dispatch 19.0 to 21.0)

For X Dispatch 19.0 to 21.0. See here for other versions.

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).


How to Add and Validate a New Address

  1. Go to Maintenance > Addresses and click the  button. 

    Alternate Steps

    Click the arrow next to the New button, or press Alt + N keys and select Address.

  2. Enter the address information. Required information to validate an address is:
    1. Address

      The Address field is the street address in "US Postal Code" format.  This includes numeric address, street name, and proper prefixes (N, S, E, W, etc), suffixes (Place, Pl, Road, Rd, Lane, Ln), and abbreviations when used.  If a suite or room number is included in this field, the validation process will move it to the Suite/Room/Apartment field.

    2. City
    3. State/Zip/+
  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.

"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. 

Customer 1106 will not be able to see the Phoenix Zoo address.

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.
