Functional Processing

A published business service calls processEntity and passes an input value to the method. The processEntity method sets processing parameters based on the input value. The method compares the input with null or an empty string to determine which values are not included in the input. The order of null comparison is:

1. Address Number

2. Long Address Number

3. Tax ID

If the comparison is successful, the processEntity method calls the internal method, InternalEntityUtility. The InternalEntityUtility method calls the ScrubAddressNumber business function (B0100016) passing in the desired action code. The business function retrieves the appropriate data from the Address Book Master table (F0101).

Note: This method retrieves records from F0101 and ensures that the ScrubAddressNumber business function selects the appropriate data. Using the business function instead of using direct table input/output has no significant performance impact.
