How To Set Up the Address Format in Dynamics NAV

Have you ever come across a situation where individuals are specific about the way the address is printed on their Sales Invoice?

While it might be a simple concept, it can be critical to get right. So, let me walk you through a very simple process in Microsoft Dynamics NAV that can have a significant impact to the way the address formats on the Customer Sales Invoice are printed out.

In Dynamics NAV, the Countries/Regions page is where you can easily set up the different Address Formats per country code and control the format of addresses printed on sales invoices.
When you create a new country code in Dynamics NAV the “City + Zip Code” address format is automatically display as a default format.

If you do not end up changing this and just accept the default value, you’ll end up having all the Country Code -Address Formats look like this:

That likely won’t serve you well.

There are different Address Formats available in the Countries/Region Page, under the Address Format field:

While the address format “City+State+Zip Code” is commonly used in Canada and the USA, there are a multitude of options to choose from.

So ensure the setup’s done correctly and you’ll be able to be flexible around the way customer sales invoices are printed.

Now for a general note on the changes made on the Address Format. Remember that, the changes will take effect only to the future sales transactions and not on the posted sales invoices.
