Postcode & Address Validation

Validate and auto-complete addresses worldwide — powered by Google Address Validation — with full compliance for Australian postcodes, directly within Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Why it matters
Businesses trading locally and globally need address data they can rely on. Whether you are invoicing a customer in Sydney or shipping to a supplier in Singapore, entering incorrect addresses leads to delivery failures, billing disputes, and compliance issues. By harnessing the power of Google Address Validation, this extension verifies addresses at the point of entry so your Business Central contacts are accurate, standardised, and ready to use from day one.

Key capabilities

• Google Address Validation-powered lookup and auto-completion for both Australian and international addresses, directly within Business Central contact, customer, and vendor cards.

• Automatic Australian postcode validation, enforcing the 4-character ATO mandate and ensuring state/postcode combinations are correct.

• International address support with smart formatting — automatically applies the correct country-specific structure for overseas contacts to prevent data entry errors.

• Auto-populate street, suburb/city, state, and postcode fields from a single address search, eliminating manual data entry.

• Geocoding and map preview so you can visually confirm an address before saving the record.

• Seamless alignment with Business Central address field requirements, ensuring all contact data is consistent and error-free.

How it works
Begin typing any address — domestic or international — into a Business Central contact, customer, or vendor card. The extension calls the Google Address Validation API in real time, surfacing accurate, standardised address suggestions as you type. Selecting a result automatically populates all relevant fields and applies the appropriate formatting rules: 4-digit postcodes for Australian addresses, and correctly structured values for international contacts. The address search field is cleared after each successful validation, keeping the form clean and ready for the next entry.

Benefits

Google-verified local and international contacts • Fewer delivery and billing errors • Faster data entry • Full compliance with ATO postcode formatting requirements • Reduced manual correction effort across your entire master data.

Tech & Security

Powered by the Google Address Validation API — one of the world's most comprehensive and accurate address datasets. No contact data is stored outside of Business Central. The extension operates within Business Central's existing permissions model and requires a Google API key configured by your administrator.

Who it's for
