Understand the Classification Status of an Address

Note: The Address Validation and Classification Tool classifies addresses as either residential or commercial. It does not classify Army Post Office (APO), Fleet Post Office (FPO) and Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) Ship To addresses.

Use the Address Book Editor to determine which Ship To addresses have and have not been classified by the Address Validation and Classification Tool.

To determine the classification status of an address:

  1. On the Home tab, select Addresses and then Address Book. The Address Book Editor window appears.

  2. Type the address information or click the down arrow in the Company or Name box and select an existing company or name.
