Process Address Changes Screen (PACS)

Purpose: Use this screen to process address changes when the ACS Tape or the MBS Tape tables are already loaded with address change information.

For more information: See Loading Address Updates for background.

How to display this screen: Enter PACS in the Fast path field at the top of any menu, or select Process Address Changes from a menu.

Field

Description

Process deliverable addresses only

Indicates whether to process only those names and addresses identified as deliverable.

Valid values are:

Selected = Process only deliverable addresses

Unselected = (default): Process all received records, including those identified as undeliverable.

When processing the records for non-deliverable addresses, the system updates the values in the Mail and Rent fields to unselected. This ensures that you do not send any more catalogs to this address or sell the customer's name to another company.

Change date

The date when the address changes become effective.

The system compares this date against the change date in the Customer Sold To table. If the change date you specify here is:

• later than the change date in the Sold To Customer table: the system applies the name and address change

• earlier than the change date in the Customer Sold To table: the system does not apply the name and address change; instead, the system creates a record in the MBS Address Change table for you to review. Use the Work with Unchanged Customers Screen (MBSF).

Numeric, 6 positions (in user date format); required.

Input file type

Indicates where the address changes are located.

Valid values are:

ACS = The system checks the ACS Tape table for address changes.

MBS = The system checks the MBS Tape table.

Alphanumeric, 3 positions; required.

Completing this screen: Complete each field as indicated above and select Submit to submit address updates. See Process Overview for more information.

MBS and ACS Table Formats

Purpose: This table describes the format of the MBS and ACS Tape tables. The Process Address Changes Screen (PACS) and MBS and ACS Table Formats require tables in one of the formats described below.

If the ACS move type (position 39) is set to B (business), then positions 44-87 are not parsed into name components, but are treated as a single 41-character business name field.

The components of the ACS old address field are parsed as follows:

Field/Position/Size

Primary No./118-127/10

Pre-directional/128-129/2

Street name/130-157/28

Street suffix/158-161/4

Post-directional/162-163/2

Unit designator/164-167/4

Secondary no./168-177/10

If the literal APT, #, SUITE, STE, or UNIT displays after the street address, the system moves this information from Address line 1 to the Apartment field, retaining the literal and any text that follows it. Example: If the street address is 123 MAIN ST SUITE 15, the street address is 123 MAIN ST and the apartment is SUITE 15.

Valid MBS codes:

If Z, new zip at position 130

If ACS position 38 is set to one of the following values, then this is a “Nixie” record (undeliverable) and the MBS Zap indicator are loaded with a value of X:

 

 

 

 

 

A = attempted, not known

B = returned for better address

C = not deliverable as addressed

D = outside delivery limits

E = in dispute

G = PO box closed

I = insufficient address

K = moved, left no address

L = illegible

M = no mail receptacle

 

 

 

 

 

N = no such number

P = returned for postage

Q = not deliverable as addressed

R = refused

S = no such street

U = unclaimed

V = vacant

W = temporarily away

X = no such office

 

 

 

 

 

The MBS table will not contain COA records reflecting changes only to the ZIP code. A postal customer would not submit a COA form if the zip code changed but he/she did not move, so there would be no COA request to trigger a record in this table.

Note: The first record on the ACS Tape table has an H in this field, indicating that this is a header record and should not be used.
