Edit the main address of your group account and create and manage additional addresses for invoice recipients and carriers so as to use them for your applications. Other members of your group account can also manage these addresses and use them for applications.
Important:
You cannot enter addresses in your applications, but can only select addresses from those you have previously entered in your address management function.
If you have already used an address in an application and change it subsequently, this does not change anything in the application. If you have not yet submitted the application, you can select the address again in the “Address data” step of the application once you have adapted it in the address management function, so as to update the data in the application as well.
Some cantons also require an invoicing address in Switzerland. You must also enter this address in the address management function before creating the application.
The main address
Since you as an applicant belong to a group account, there is already at least one address in your master data under the menu item “Addresses” (1). This is the main address of your account. It was entered by the “group founder” when the group account was created and is valid for all applications that will be created in this account by the applicants. It is marked with a small tick in the “Main address” column of the table containing all addresses of the account (2).
You can also enter any other addresses you like here, which you can then enter on the application as vehicle owner or invoice recipient. It’s not possible to type in an address directly when creating the application. You have to enter it here first so that you can use it for your applications.
You can see all the addresses that have been entered by a group member in the address management function of your group account. You can edit all these addresses and select them when you create an application as vehicle owner or invoice recipient.
If a newly-created or amended address is not displayed correctly in the table straight away, you can reload the page with the update button at the top right of the overview (6). If you have more than 10 addresses, the new address may also be displayed on a subsequent page of the table. You can use the small arrows below the table to navigate to the next page or to have more lines displayed.
Searching for addresses
In the “Search” box (3) above the list of all addresses, enter the name of an address that has been previously entered. The list will now be filtered and you will then only be shown addresses that contain what you entered in the name. Delete what you entered so that all addresses are displayed again.
Entering a new address
To enter a new address, press the button “New” (4).
A dialogue box opens in which you have to complete all the fields marked with a red asterisk *. If you don’t complete a field or complete it in an invalid format, this will also be displayed in red below the field.
To enter the zip code and the town/city, you first need to select the country. If the address is in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein, after entering the zip code in the “Town/city” field, you will be presented with one or more towns/cities with the zip code you entered to choose from. If this is not the case, it means our system contains no valid zip code in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein that corresponds to what you entered.
There are no valid zip codes in the SA SP for all other countries, so they cannot be validated and the towns/cities must be entered manually.
If you want to enter an address with a PO Box, select the appropriate checkbox:
You don´t need to make any further entries if it’s a PO Box without a number and the zip code is the same as that of the main address. Otherwise, enter the PO Box number and/or the country, the zip code and the town/city in the newly-displayed fields. For the zip code and town/city, the same rules apply as described above (selection of the town/city as per the postcode for addresses in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein).
You can only save the address once you have correctly completed all the necessary fields. Only then will the “Save” button appear. But you can also cancel the entry at any time by pressing the appropriate button or by closing the window with the X in the top right-hand corner. No data will then be saved.
Editing or deleting existing addresses
To edit or delete an existing address, you need to select it in the first column of the table (5). The buttons “Edit” and “Delete” are now active.
With “Edit”, a dialogue box opens with the existing address data. To enter data in the individual fields and validate it, the same applies here as when creating a new address. If you press “Delete” and confirm the action in the corresponding dialogue box, the address will be definitively deleted from your master data. This has no effect on existing applications. But from this point on, you can no longer add this address to an application.
