A guide to the Locations section
What is the difference between fulfilment locations and the address book?
Overview
The locations section is split into two types of addresses, Fulfilment locations and Address book:

- Both Fulfilment locations and Address book addresses can be selected when booking a shipment as a 'shipper' address.
- Directly in the software or via an API
- Both Fulfilment locations and Address book addresses can be selected when booking a shipment as a 'consignee' address.
- Directly in the software or via an API
- Both Fulfilment locations and Address book can be used in fulfilment rules* (click here for more information on fulfilment rules)
- Only Address book addresses have the option to save a VAT number and EORI number/s at the time of address creation.
- Only Fulfilment location addresses can be edited once saved (click here for guidance).
- Only Fulfilment location addresses will be accessible in simulation experiments for "what if" scenarios (click here for more information on Simulations)
⚠️ *Fulfilment rules require an exact address match. If a selected fulfilment location or Address book address is changed within the shipment, either manually or via API, including the contact name, the rule will not be applied.
