Dynamics 365 CRM Using the Address Entity

Views (18079)

In Dynamics 365 CRM sometimes there is a requirement to hold multiple addresses against an Account/Contact/Etc

I would recommend using the address entity for this, Some people may miss this as it is not on the navigation bar as standard so here is a quick once over on how to add and use it

1) Open your solution and edit the Account form, Select Navigation and then double click addresses - Then "Save & Publish"

2) Back to your account record and open the navigation menu and select addresses

3) Select Add Address

4) Complete the information as requested

5) You can now have multiple addresses against that Account with Address Types.

6) As you are using system functionality you can pull this information into Quotes / Cases

    Previously when I have had this requirement I have just used a SSIS Package or Sribe.

    Hello Mark,

    Nice article. Thanks for the info. I have a question though. I wanted to create multiple addresses for my client. Apparently, there is a need to synchronize 'more addresses' to other CRM tenants(on-premise). There is already a plugins that synchronizes accounts and contacts to all CRM Tenants. Is it possible to also synchronize the addresses using the same plug-in or do we need to create a new plug-in ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards,

    Suyash
