Enable Real Time Address Cleansing

Address cleansing validates, corrects, and standardizes address information that you enter in the application. Address cleansing, unlike geography validation, validates both the geography attributes and the address line attributes.

Note that you need a separate license for Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification, to use the address cleansing functionality.

Here's how you can define address cleansing for the countries in which you do business.

1. Open the Manage Geographies task from the implementation project or from Setup and Maintenance work area using the following:

   • Offering: Customer Data Management

   • Functional Area: Enterprise Profile

   • Task: Manage Geographies

2. Search for a country that you want to enable Address Cleansing using either by name or by its two letter ISO code. For example, you can search by entering either the country name United States or the two letter ISO code US, and clicking Search.

3. Select the country in the Search Results area.

4. Click the Go to Task button in the Address Cleansing Defined column to enable the Verify Address button for account, contact or household on the simplified UI.

5. In Address Cleansing Level dialog box, set the Real-Time Address Cleansing Level to Optional to enable the option to cleanse addresses. If the level is set to None, it specifies no real-time address cleansing.

6. Click Save and Close.
