Address types are the categories you can assign to an address on an actor (customer, supplier, etc.). The system comes with five predefined types: Company, Home, Contact, Other and Delivery. These system types cannot be deleted, but you can create your own custom types if you need additional categories.
From the hamburger menu in the top-left corner of Sapera, open Financial. In the left menu, select Actors → Address types.
If you cannot see the menu item, you probably do not have permission to access it. Contact support.
System name: A technical identifier for the address type. The system name is set at creation and cannot be changed afterwards. It is used internally to identify the type across the system.
Display name: The name shown to users in the system, e.g. when selecting an address type on an actor. The display name can be edited after creation.
System: A checkbox indicating whether the type is a predefined system type. System types cannot be deleted.
Click New to create a new address type. Fill in System name and Display name, and save by clicking Save and close.
Select an existing type in the list and click Edit (or double-click the row) to change its Display name.
An address type can only be deleted if it is not a system type and is not in use on any actor address. The delete button is not available for system types.
