# Set up qualifiers

For each EDI type, you can set up qualifiers for an EDI segment. A common segment for which qualifiers are used is the address (NAD) segment. You can have different addresses in the same segment, for example, delivery address and invoice address. Use a qualifier to distinguish these addresses in the EDI file. **Example:** Set up the 3035 (party function code) qualifier for the NAD (name and address) segment with these values:

- DP; Delivery party; Party to which goods must be delivered.
- IV; Invoicee; Party to whom an invoice is issued.
