Address Validation While Processing Shipments

Article • 4/22/2025 • 2 min read

This topic covers how to validate addresses when processing a shipment in Aptean Ship.

Manual address validation

You can validate a recipient address at any point during a shipment using the address validation button. This button, located next to the recipient address on both the recipient and the shipment overview section, indicates whether the address is validated or not.

Not validated

An orange question mark appears on button. Click the button to validate. If the address can be immediately validated, the icon will turn green. If the validation requires user intervention, the Address Validation dialog appears.

Options

Choose a validated address from the list. Click Revalidate Address to return to the Company Setup dialog.
Type an address into the fields provided in the Final Address section. Click Revalidate Address to perform the validation again.
Click Revert to Original to revert any changes and return to the original address.
Click Ignore Validation Status to disregard the results and return to the Company Setup dialog. You will receive a message confirming that you want to stick with the unvalidated and possibly incorrect address

Validated

A green check mark on the button indicates that the address has been validated.

Failed

A red x on the button indicates that address validation has failed.

Mapping address fields from the source interface

Address validation is based on the following fields:

Company Name
Address 1 or 2 (depending upon Preferences settings above)
City
State
Postal Code

When mapping address fields from the source interface to the Aptean Ship Shipment, it is recommended that you map the actual street address to the Address 1 field. This will ensure correct results when using the address validation feature.
