Geocoding in Oracle Fusion Field Service

-
Address (caddress)

City (ccity)
-

-
Zip/Postal Code (czip)
-
Country (country_code)
Best practices
We strongly recommend that you send us the geo-coordinates when you create activities. This ensures that the coordinates are available for use in the application. Send the values using Coordinate X (acoord_x) and Coordinate Y (acoord_y).
For the activities associated with the Activity Types that have the Calculate travel option selected, we encourage you add and populate address fields. This helps the application use the information to make the best possible decision.
don't include additional address elements in the Address (caddress) field. The element includes but is not limited a business name, unit, flat, suite, floor number, and so on.
Avoid uncommon abbreviations, or abbreviations that are part of a defined standard used by the postal authority. It is possible that “Ave”, “Ave.” and “Avenue” can lead to different accuracy resolutions.
You may have to experiment to find the best way to send address data to Oracle Fusion Field Service.
