   Set Up Flexible Addresses

Entering Flexible Addresses

   To enter a flexible address:

1. Navigate to the window in which you want to enter your flexible address.

Flexible address regions are provided in the following windows:

• Customers (Receivables, Order Entry, and Projects)

• Suppliers (Payables and Purchasing)

• Banks (Payables and Receivables)

• Remit-To Addresses (Receivables)

• Payments Summary (Payables)

2. To determine whether an address is to be entered using the standard layout or a flexible address format, you must first enter a value in the Country field.

If you enter the name of a country that does not have an address style assigned to it, the address will be entered using the standard layout. If you enter a country that has an address style assigned to it, a window opens containing the address elements defined for the address style associated with that country.

3. Enter the address, then choose OK.

The system displays the concatenated address in the standard address fields. Whenever you move the cursor into any of the address fields, the window opens. This prevents you from using the standard address entry for an address entered using flexible addresses.

4. Save your work.

   To query a flexible address:

1. Navigate to the window in which you want to query your flexible address. For a list of windows in which flexible addresses are available, see: Entering Flexible Addresses.

Any addresses entered using the flexible address functionality can be queried using the standard querying methods. However, you can also query the address in the same format in which it was entered.

2. Select Enter from the Query menu.

3. Enter the Country name.

4. Execute the query to return all addresses for that country. Or, navigate to the address fields to enter additional query criteria.

If the country you choose has a flexible address style assigned to it, Receivables opens a window when you navigate to the address fields.

5. Choose OK.

6. Execute the query.
