Set Up Real Time Address Cleansing to Enable Verify Address Button

You can setup real time address cleansing to enable the Verify Address button on the Organization (Account), Person (Contact), and Group (Household) UIs.

You can use the Verify Address button to validate, correct, and standardizes address information that you enter in the application down to the street level. Address cleansing, unlike geography validation, validates both the geography attributes and the address line attributes.

Note: You need a separate license for Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification, to use the address cleansing functionality. You may have already set up real time address cleansing as a part of your geographies setup. If so, you don't have to set it up again.

Here are the steps to 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 on the Create Organization (Create Account), Create Person (Create Contact, and Create Group (Create Household) UIs. Here's a screenshot of the Manage Geographies page highlighting the Go to Task icon and the Address Cleansing column.
