The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:

Postal Area. In our case PA which means Paisley.
Postal District. In our case PA23.
Postal Sector. In our case PA23 7.
Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case UD.

The regional mail center for the post area PA is the Scottish Distribution Centre, which is located at Canyon Road, Excelsior Park, Netherton Industrial Est, WISHAW, ML2 0XX.
