Overview of Data Verification and Validation Setup
Data verification includes verification of addresses, phones, and email addresses.
Address verification is the process to verify that the address data entered for an organization (account) or person (contact) is a confirmed postal address. This includes the first line of the address, which includes a premise or building number and street name.
You can use address verification to verify, correct, and complete your address data, based on postal requirements. Here's an example wherein if you enter some of your address details, such as Address Line 1, and country, and then click the Verify Address button on the Create Organization or Create Person UIs, then the application may suggest a full address that you can accept or reject. Similarly, verification of phone numbers and email addresses ensures that the phone number and the email addresses exist.
Note that for data verification you require a separate license for Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification. Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification, ensures that you have the correct postal addresses, that your emails don't bounce, and your calls go through.
The data verification functionality is available:
-
Real-time, on the Create Organization (Create Account) or Create Person (Create Contact) UIs
-
In batch mode in the Data Verification work area
-
During the import of data
Address validation is a process that you can use to check whether the address data that you enter real-time on the UI or import is valid. The application validates the address elements against your master reference geography data, ensuring that the data entered or imported is consistent with your reference geography data.
Address validation kicks in on the UI when you try to save the address data entered by you on the Create Organization (Create Account) or Create Person (Create Contact) UIs. The application also attempts to complete the address data, provided you had selected the Enable List of Values option on the Manage Geography Validation page. For example, if you enter postal code and country, then address validation may return a value for the city and the state. Likewise, if you enter city and country, then address validation supplies a value for the state.
Note that you may already have set up real time address validation during geographies setup while setting up geography validation using reference geography data. In case you plan to use Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification to validate address, you require a separate license for Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification. You also need to modify your earlier address validation setup as described in this chapter.
Here's a table that lists the configurations that you must complete to enable data verification and validation using Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification.
