# Supported records

365 business Address Validation checks addresses on master data, ship-to addresses, and documents, with a different scope of functions for each.

Not every record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports every function the same way: for some, the check runs automatically when an address is changed, for others only through an action or a batch report. The following overview shows what applies to which record.

A batch report is only available for Contact, Customer, Vendor, and Resource. Contact, Customer, Vendor, and Ship-to Address can additionally be checked in one run through [bulk compare](../batch-validation.mdx).
