1.8. Setting up address information

In the case of EKÁER notifications, we should strive to provide the address data in a detailed form. To do this, we need to record some related information on Customer, Vendor and Location Cards. In addition, the Company Information Card has a special role, where we can set the data of our own company.

1.8.1. Company Information

With the help of the search function, please find and open Company Information.

Please make sure, that you have all the necessary information in the menu correctly:

Currently, for EKÁER notifications, we take the Name information, Address, City, Postcode and Country/Region Code data from here.

In addition, in case of a Hungarian company, we use VAT Registration field to, so it’s absolutely necessary to fill it in.

Please fill in the company data correctly before generating the source documents. The correctness of the name and tax number is especially important for the reporting process!

 


It is worth noting, that the Company Information menu Ship-to Address section can play an important role on the purchasing side.

If no default Location Code is defined for the vendor card, then Business Central uses the information in the Company Information menu, when creating puchase orders. (Vendor Card/Receiving fasttab/Location Code field)

If a Location Code has been set here in the Company Information, this will be used on purchase orders. The delivery address type of the order will be „Location Code”, and the address data will be transferred from the Location Card.

If no Location Code has been set in the Company Information, the delivery address type of the order will be „default”, and Business Central uses the data of Ship-to fields of Company Information menu.

1.8.2. Customers

To use customer detailed addresses, enter and set up a Bill-to Address ID for each. This function is already used in the framework of localization pack, and from the point of view of EKÁER, it is an important condition for the operation of the module.

With the help of the search function please find Customers list, and open a Customer card by clicking on Customer No., or ‘Manage/Edit’ button.
Bill-to Address ID can be found on the Invoicing fasttab.

Use the dropdown menu to enter new address information, by clicking the New button, as follows:


Fill in the relevant fields: Post Code, Country Code (updated by Post Code), City, (updated by Post Code) Name of Public Premises, Type of Public Premises, House Number, etc. Business Central fills the Address and Address 2 fields by merging the data.

  • Address ID – enter a number here

  • City – if the above Post Code and related data are filled in in the Post Code list, the system will automatically fill in the City field with the data taken from there
  • Country/Region Code – if the above Post Code and related data are filled in in the Post Code list, the system will automatically fill in the Country/Region Code field with the data taken from there
  • Name of Public Premises – the certain road, street etc. name: in case of ‘Király street’, the word ‘Király’.

When you’re done, please click ‘OK’ to finish the process, and application sets that address Id as the Bill-to Address ID of the Customer.
