Initial company information is usually set up using the Initial Setup wizard. If you want to add more addresses or configure accounts associated with addresses, you can do this from Setup > Company is where you'll set up your company information. A Company can have multiple addresses linked to it, each separate address having it's own Address ID so that it can be easily selected or mapped in StarShip. The Company information entered on this window corresponds to the Address ID (on the Sender tab) when processing shipments. In general, the "MAIN" address is used as the default Company Address.
Type in the name of the company.
An Address ID identifies an address that you add for a company. The first address you set up will be"MAIN," which is the default value. You can then create alternate sender addresses for the same company.
See Sender Addresses for more information.
Type in the company name associated with this Address ID location.
Type in the contact name associated with this address.
Type in the address information you want to associate with the Address ID above. The Country field is not a modifiable field and is limited to the United States.

Type an address into the fields provided in the Final Address section. Click Revalidate Address to perform the validation again.
