Use N102 and the N2-N4 segments only when it is necessary to transmit the full address. For example, if a vendor can be identified by a DUNS number, it is not necessary to transmit the vendor's full address since the relationship between the DUNS number and the vendor's address can be established by accessing a data base in which the information is stored, having been put there at the time the vendor electronically registered as a federal government trading partner.

  2. Use the 1/N1/310 loop to identify organizations or people that apply to all of the line items, or are not applicable at the line item level (e.g., ordering party, etc.). When the addresses vary by line item, use the 2/N1/350 loop.
