Overview: The Experian Data Quality (EDQ) Address Validate API, formerly known as the QAS Pro On Demand Service, allows you to retrieve address information from Experian’s Address Validate API to update an Order Management System address during interactive quote or order entry/maintenance, the order API, catalog requests, the customer API, and customer maintenance. EDQ captures, cleans, maintains, and enhances address records and validates the address data against national postal authorities, such as the U.S. Postal Service.

For more information: See Experian Data Quality (EDQ) Address Validate API for an overview and required setup.

Use QAS Address Interface (I67)

Indicates if you use the EDQ Address Validate API to retrieve address information from EDQ.

Select this field if you wish to use the EDQ Address Validate API; the system will retrieve address information from EDQ.

Unselect or leave this field blank if you do not wish to use the EDQ Address Validate API.

Address Interface User Hold Code (I68)

Defines the hold reason code the system assigns to an order received through the Order API if an exact address match is not found in EDQ for the Order Management System address.

Enter a valid hold reason code in this field that the system can assign to a remote order at the user level when the remote order fails address verification. A remote order fails address verification if EDQ could not find an exact match to the Order Management System address (the EDQ Address Response Match Level is not Verified).

Unselect or leave this field blank if you do not want the system to assign a user level hold reason to an order when an exact address match is not found in EDQ during remote order processing.

• If the remote order does not contain any errors, the system creates the order in an open status.

• If the remote order contains errors, the system places the order in an order batch with an error status.

Display Confirmation After QAS Picklist Selection (J01)

Defines whether the system displays the Address Standardization: Verify Recommendation (from Pick List) Screen after you select an address from a list of valid addresses returned by EDQ.

Select this field if you wish the system to display the Address Standardization: Verify Recommendation (from Pick List) Screen after you select an address from a list of valid addresses returned by EDQ.

The Address Standardization: Verify Recommendation (from Pick List) Screen allows you to compare the Order Management System address against the address you selected from the list of valid addresses returned by EDQ. You can then decide whether to update the Order Management System address with the standardized address, select a different address from the list of valid addresses returned by EDQ, or retain the Order Management System address without any updates.

You can select an address from a list of valid addresses at the following screens:

• Address Standardization: Verify Apartment/Suite Number Screen: this screen displays when the EDQ Address Response Match Level returned by EDQ is Premise Partial, indicating the address is missing an apartment number.

• Address Standardization: Verify Street Number Screen: this screen displays when the EDQ Address Response Match Level returned by EDQ is Street Partial, indicating the address is missing a street number.

• Address Standardization: Select from Multiple Addresses Screen: this screen displays when the EDQ Address Response Match Level returned by EDQ is Multiple, indicating more than one address match was found.

Unselect or leave this field blank if you do not wish the system to display the Address Standardization: Verify Recommendation (from Pick List) Screen after you select an address from a list of valid addresses returned by EDQ. When you select an address from a list of valid addresses returned by EDQ, the system returns you to the Order Management System screen.

Perform Address Standardization in Customer API (I99)

Indicates whether the system performs address standardization using the EDQ Address Validate API when you receive an Add or Change request through the Customer API.

About the Customer API: Use the Customer API to add or change customers based on messages received from an external system. The Customer API process in Working with Integration Layer Processes (IJCT) processes the customer add or change requests.

Select this field if you wish the system to perform address standardization using the EDQ Address Validate API when you receive an Add or Change request through the Customer API. The address standardization takes place before any duplicate checking.

Note: The address standardization only occurs if there is an exact match to the address (the EDQ Address Response Match Level is Verified); otherwise, the process does not update the customer’s address before proceeding with regular edits.

Unselect or leave this field blank if you do not wish to perform address standardization when creating or updating customers through the Customer API. The system performs its standard validation when you process updates through the Customer API.
