What is the Information Address Reference Key?
Pacejet creates a unique reference key for addresses (on import) that do not have an Address ID. This reference key begins with IA, indicating it is for an informational address. The key is used to source address data passed from an ERP, ensuring that each address can be accurately identified and retrieved.
