What Happens When You Disable Address Validation for the US

When you disable address validation, you disable the US-specific programmatic validation rules. If you're using the Payroll license, never disable this programmatic validation.

You can disable address validation on through the Manage Features by Country or Territory task.

Note:

The Manage Geographies task provides predefined rules for validating address structure, format, and values. Disabling address validation doesn't have any impact on these validations.

For example:

1. You have the Human Resources or None license with address validation enabled.

2. During data conversion, you want to temporarily bypass address validation rules to load a batch of worker data, so you start the Manage Features by Country or Territory task and deselect Address Validation.

3. You load your data.

4. After loading the batch:

   1. Enable address validation.

   2. Run the Address Validation Process flow, and resolve any validation errors.

   If you leave address validation disabled:

   • Any new address data you enter could be potentially invalid.

   • Errors can occur in subsequent processes and reports.
