Legal Addresses

A legal address is the mailing address of a legal entity or legal authority. A legal address is also the address a legal entity uses to register with a legal authority.

You can use legal addresses to send correspondence, such as invoices, bills, reports, and so on, to a legal entity or authority.

No legal addresses are predefined for Canada. You must create legal addresses for all organizational units of the enterprise before creating legal entities.

The format in which addresses must be entered for workers located in Canada is predefined and should not be modified during implementation.

Use the Manage Legal Address task to create a legal address. For each address you create, select Canada as the country so that the Canadian Address style is used.

The table below lists the fields in the Canadian address style.

Field Name	Mandatory and Optional Fields
Country	Mandatory
Address 1	Mandatory
City	Mandatory
Province	Mandatory
Postal Code	Mandatory

In Canada, the work province is used to calculate tax. To determine the work province, the province of employment on the tax card is derived from the province of the employee's work location. The application uses the province of employment to determine where the employee is taxed.

When an employee transfers provinces, the employee's work location and the province of employment on the tax card must reflect the change. Use the Calculation Card Options profile option parameter to enable or disable the automatic update of the province of employment on the tax card.

For more information on Location Synchronization, see How Province of Employment Works with Calculation Cards for Canada in the Help Center.

When entering an address, it's good practice to enter the Postal Code first. The application automatically populates the other fields based on the geography data. When editing any of the address fields that are already populated, the other fields that are no longer applicable to the new data gets cleared out.

You can create new geographies by importing data through the interface tables. You can load data into the interface tables using the Oracle Fusion file-based data import process or a tool of your choice.
