You can find the address by doing the following:

  • Find a company address by a postal code if no other address details are available: If you enter the postal code into this box, the system displays the address options with the cities and country (and the state, if the country has states) that are valid for the postal code.
  • Find a full address by a street address: If you enter the street address into this box and select the address, the system will fill in the country (and the state, if applicable), city, and postal code on the form.

The web service selected as an address provider on the Site Preferences (SM200505) form searches for the information that matches your search criteria and lists all the search results below this box. You can click the needed value in the list, and the web service populates the box with this value and displays the address in the map area.

If the check box is cleared and if the new approver is not available and has a delegation set up for the current date, the system will reassign the selected records to the delegate if the delegate is available. If the delegate is unavailable, the system will reassign the requests to the delegate of the delegate. The system will continue the search in this way until it assigns an approver that has no active delegations set up for the current date or it detects a loop in the chain of delegations (in which case you will have to specify a different approver).
