Load Geography Information

A geocode is a nine-digit numeric code used to identify specific legal jurisdictions accurately to all Canadian provinces and territories.

Use either GBG|Loqate, or your own geography data vendor to load geography data. GBG|Loqate is the Oracle-licensed geography vendor across all Oracle applications, but it is not mandatory. You may use any other geography vendor, but it has to be comparable in structure by using a 2-character province code.

Use the file-based import option to upload the Canadian geography data into the Oracle Payroll for Canada application. After the geography data is loaded, you must then use the Maintain Canadian Geography process to create the geocodes for the geographies you have loaded.

Note: Geocodes are created only for the provinces.

Use the Manage Geographies task to view the information.
