# Comfort Pack: Government Lookups and Address Tools

> Optional Comfort Pack tools that improve data entry in D365 — government registry lookups, real-time validations, address autocomplete, and maps.

The Comfort Pack is a set of optional enhancements bundled with Eftsure inside D365 F\&O. None of these tools are required for Eftsure's core payment fraud prevention features, but they significantly improve the quality and speed of data entry for administrators and AP team members. Features range from real-time government registry lookups for specific countries to address autocomplete powered by leading maps providers.

<Note>
  The Comfort Pack is **free for charities**. Contact support if your organisation qualifies.
</Note>

<Warning>
  All Comfort Pack services rely on third-party external providers. If a provider changes or deprecates their API with short notice, disable the matching service in **Eftsure parameters** and refer to the release notes. Contact your D365 team to arrange a version upgrade if needed.
</Warning>

## Government registry services

Eftsure currently supports real-time lookups and/or validations for the following countries and registries:

| Geography                | Service provider                                     |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Australia                | Australian Business Register (ABR)                   |
| Europe                   | VAT Information Exchange System (VIES)               |
| France                   | api.gouv.fr                                          |
| Hong Kong                | Hong Kong Companies Registry                         |
| New Zealand              | New Zealand Companies Office                         |
| Singapore                | Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) |
| United Kingdom           | HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)                          |
| United States of America | EINSearch                                            |

Each service requires an API key configured in **Eftsure parameters → GovCode**. See [API Keys](/integrations/api-keys) for setup instructions per provider.

### ABN (Australia)

The ABN Comfort Pack enhancements help users enter and validate Australian Business Numbers against the Australian Business Register.

**Lookup by name** searches the ABR in real time and displays results with a confidence score. **Lookup by number** returns a single detailed record. Once selected, ABN numbers are displayed with two shortcut icons that link directly to the ABR website for quick verification, and a tooltip shows the matching ABN registration details.

When an ABN is entered in D365, Eftsure validates it against the ABR for both format and registry existence. If the ABN does not already exist in the tax number table (`TaxVATNumTable`), it is created automatically. Both interactive and non-interactive sessions enforce validation — if the ABN format is invalid, field and record-level validations will fail.

ABN lookup is available everywhere an ABN or VAT Number field appears in D365, including vendors, customers, and legal entities.

***

### VIES (Europe)

The VIES Comfort Pack enhancement validates European VAT numbers against the VAT Information Exchange System. When a VAT number is entered, Eftsure checks it in real time and surfaces the validation result at the point of data entry and during [Payee check](/user/payee-check) workflows.

## Maps and address services

Eftsure supports three maps providers for address autocomplete, map display, and geocoding:

| Provider                                                            | Autocomplete | Maps display | Geocoding |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | --------- |
| [Azure Maps](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/azure-maps) | ✓            | ✓            | ✓         |
| [Google Maps](https://maps.google.com)                              | ✓            | ✓            | ✓         |
| [Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/)                                   | ✓            | ✓            | ✓         |

All three providers support international addresses for most countries. Pricing for each provider is outside the scope of this documentation — check directly with the relevant vendor. See [API Keys](/integrations/api-keys) to set up your preferred provider.

<Note>
  Setting up Maps before configuring the Addresses autocomplete feature will improve the overall setup and testing experience.
</Note>

### Address autocomplete

When autocomplete is enabled, a new search control appears on any address creation or modification form across D365 — including vendors, customers, company, vendor collaboration, sales orders, and purchase orders. As you type an address, results appear in real time, just like a personal maps application. When you accept a suggestion, D365 fills in all matching address components automatically.

If any required address components (states, counties, cities, postcodes) do not yet exist in D365, the system can either prompt you to create them or create them automatically, depending on the **Auto create missing** setting.

The autocomplete feature populates the following address attributes where available:

* Street number and street name
* City and postcode
* County and state
* Country
* Latitude and longitude

Configure autocomplete in **Eftsure parameters → User Interface → Addresses**. Options include:

| Setting                                   | Description                                                              |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Auto complete provider**                | Choose `Disabled`, `Microsoft Azure Maps`, or `Google Maps`              |
| **API Key**                               | The authentication key from your chosen provider                         |
| **Auto create missing**                   | Automatically create missing states, counties, cities, and postcodes     |
| **Label**                                 | Label text displayed above the autocomplete control                      |
| **Placeholder**                           | Hint text shown inside the control when empty                            |
| **Default value for name or description** | Default address name, or leave blank to use the name returned by the API |

A test map embedded in the parameters screen lets you verify your provider configuration before rolling it out to users. If no map provider is configured, results display in JSON format.

### Maps display

When a maps provider is configured, a **Map** button becomes available on relevant forms — for example, on the [Payee check](/user/payee-check) screen. Clicking it opens a popup map centred on the selected address.
