Address Validation
Bulk Address Validation allows users to validate Ship To addresses if you are using Avalara. See AvaTax: Introduction to Avalara's AvaTax.
Note: This screen only displays Invalid addresses.
The fields displayed on the Address Validation screen are:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Customer Number |
The customer number representing the customer profile. |
| Name | The name listed under the Ship To tab of the customer profile. |
| Avatax address validation | Current validation status for the customer address listing. |
| Address 1/2/3/ Zip/Postal Code | Residential details for the customer address. |
| Actions | The Validate button attempts to validate the Ship To address for the customer. A report window opens after the validation process is complete along with any supplemental instructions. |
The Save button saves the current list of invalid addresses.
The Bulk Validate button initiates the validation process for all invalid addresses listed on the Address Validation screen.
Bulk Validate Options
Revalidate all invalid addresses: If selected, this option invalidates all invalid addresses before performing the address validation. Only invalidated addresses are checked during address validation and selecting this option "revalidates" any that are currently invalid.
Automatically update if a suggest address is found: If selected, then when a suggested address is found, Avalara automatically updates and marks the address as "Valid". If not selected, suggested addresses are ignored and the addresses with suggestions are marked "invalid".
Note: The job may take several hours to complete if there are more than 20,000 addresses to validate.
