Validate Addresses in Profiles

Form ID: (CR509020)

Attention: The form is available only if the Address Validation Integration feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

On this form, you can simultaneously validate addresses in multiple profiles of the following types: customers, vendors, business accounts, and branches. If a profile has more than one address specified, the table contains a separate row for each address record in the document. These capabilities ensure the validity of your address data while reducing the time and effort that users would spend validating addresses in each profile.

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.
