What is the exact difference between /Business/ and /Invoice/ address purpose, what is the implication on processes in the system?

Would I be ok using only Invoice purpose address for primary address and then have several delivery addresses?

Hi Phoneix,

Check out this documentation to diffrentiate between purposes

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/appuser-itpro/set-up-address-and-contact-information-purposes#predefined-purposes

For example, when you invoice a sales order, the address with purpose invoice is used.. when u create a sales order the address with purpose delivery is used by default. When you create a new customer, the the address purpose u create is business by default

Thanks,

Hi,

The /Business/ address usage is used to represent an address related to an entity's business, such as a company's headquarters address or registered address. The /Invoice/ address usage is used to indicate the address to which the invoice is sent, which may be the customer's physical address. When you define different address uses in your system, they may play different roles in different processes. For example, when creating an order, the system might prioritize the /Invoice/ address usage as the invoice shipping address.

Best regards,

Kevin
