# Set up EDI setup for carrier address

For each carrier, you can set up several addresses. For each of these addresses, you can set up specific EDI settings.

For example, you can define:

- The Global Location Number (GLN code). You can use the GLN code in EDI to identify the unique location.
- Which EDI document flows are not applicable for an address. By default, the EDI document flows, as defined for the carrier, are applicable. However, sometimes, an EDI document flow is not applicable for a carrier address. **Example**: For a specific address, no EDI confirmation is required. In this case, you can disable the use of the EDI confirmation document flow for the carrier address.
