Company Address Book Numbers

You must verify the address book number that is assigned to a company or payer. The system uses this information to:

• Print the company name on T5018 returns as the payer.

• Combine company records for T5018 processing.

Typically, the company number is the same as the company's address book number. The company number has a limit of five characters, whereas the address book number might have as many as eight characters. If the company number is different from the address book number for the company, you must provide a cross-reference between the two numbers using the Company Address Number and Company Number fields in the Company Names & Numbers program (P0010).

If the Company Address Number field on the Company Setup form of the Company Names & Numbers program is blank, the company number and company address book number are the same. If the Company Address Number field contains a value and the value is different from the company number, then the company number and company address book number are different and the system uses the mailing address that is assigned to the company address book number.

Information about company address book numbers is stored in the Company Constants table (F0010).
