Address prediction is an Auto-Complete functionality implemented in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to help users capture postal addresses and organizational and company information without errors.
In which tables is the address prediction available?

| Contact | Name | Organizations and companies, as well as their postal address and other information. | Only activated for contacts of type companies. |
| Contact | Address | Postal addresses. | |
| Customer | Name | Organizations and companies, as well as their postal address and other information. | |

| Vendor | Name | Organizations and companies, as well as their postal address and other information. | |
| Vendor | Address | Postal addresses. | |
| Resource | Address | Postal addresses. | |
| Employee | Address | Postal addresses. |
What additional information is obtained from organizations and companies?
The additional information depends on the actual data available in our data sources. Usually, however, in addition to the postal address and the company name, the following information is determined:
- Homepage
- Phone No.
Why are only a maximum of four results displayed?
In Address Validation Setup you can specify the max. number of predictions shown initially. The default value is four, but can modified according to the business needs.
