If you create a vendor, for instance, information such as postal addresses and telephone numbers are stored in the Global Address Book. You can reuse it if the same entity will have a different role, such as the vendor will become a customer as well.
You don’t have to (and can’t) fill the Global Address Book separately from business entities.
