How To: Add Address

Table Of Contents

If a customer has multiple delivery, invoice or contact locations, you can create additional addresses within their customer record.

This article explains how to add a new address and, if required, use the Khaos Control Postcode Address File (KPAF) to populate address details automatically.

Add a New Customer Address

Open a Customer screen (show me how).
Load the required customer record.
Press Alt+E or click Edit to enter edit mode.
Open the [ Customer | Detail | Address ] tab.
Click the New Item button in the top-left section of the screen.

If You Use KPAF

If you have purchased the Khaos Control Postcode Address File (KPAF):

Click the postcode lookup button.
Enter the postcode and press Enter.
Enter the house number in the # field.
Click OK.

The address details will be populated automatically.

If You Do Not Use KPAF

Enter the address details manually into the available address fields.

Enter any additional information required, such as:
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Delivery instructions
- Other contact details
Press Ctrl+S or click Save to save the customer record.

Important Notes

Contacts Are Not Copied

A newly created address does not automatically inherit contacts from other customer addresses.

If you need contacts against the new address, follow the guidance in:

How To: Add a Contact

Add Contact Details During Creation

You can add contact information while creating the new address, which may save time if the address requires dedicated contacts.

Review Address Management Guidance

Before adding, editing or deleting addresses and contacts, we recommend reviewing the information in the:

[ Customer | Detail | Address ] tab documentation.

This explains the impact of maintaining customer address and contact records.

Trailing Spaces Are Removed Automatically

When a new address is saved, Khaos Control automatically removes any trailing spaces from address and contact fields.
