How do I disable address validation for the US?

You can disable address validation, but the only recommended reason would be prior to controlled data conversion or batch data load activities. You would do this so you can load the address data into the system before performing the validation.

In this case, you have two options.

Method	How you do it
Legislative level	Never use this method if you’re using the Payroll extension. This bypasses US-specific payroll and taxation validation logic and can result in incorrect payroll tax calculations. If you're using the Human Resources or None extension with address validation enabled: Start the Manage Features by Country or Territory task. Locate the United States legislation. Deselect Address Validation. Save your work. Load your data with HDL. After loading the batch, reenable address validation. If you leave address validation disabled: You would have no indication whether new address data you enter is invalid. Invalid address data could cause ongoing errors in downstream processing, reporting, and payroll runs.
Individual object or file level	To disable at the object level: From your implementation project, search for and start the Configure HCM Data Loader task. In Business Object Parameters, search for one of these parameters, depending on the validation you're disabling. Enable Location Address Validation Enable Worker Address Validation Select No as the override. Click Save and Close. For further info, see HCM Data Loader Configuration Parameters in the Help Center.

How you do it

Legislative level

Never use this method if you’re using the Payroll extension. This bypasses US-specific payroll and taxation validation logic and can result in incorrect payroll tax calculations.

If you're using the Human Resources or None extension with address validation enabled:

Start the Manage Features by Country or Territory task.
Locate the United States legislation.
Deselect Address Validation.
Save your work.
Load your data with HDL.
After loading the batch, reenable address validation.

If you leave address validation disabled:

You would have no indication whether new address data you enter is invalid.
Invalid address data could cause ongoing errors in downstream processing, reporting, and payroll runs.

Individual object or file level

To disable at the object level:

From your implementation project, search for and start the Configure HCM Data Loader task.
In Business Object Parameters, search for one of these parameters, depending on the validation you're disabling.
- Enable Location Address Validation
- Enable Worker Address Validation
Select No as the override.
Click Save and Close.

For further info, see HCM Data Loader Configuration Parameters in the Help Center.

Note:

The Manage Geographies task provides predefined rules for validating address structure, format, and values. Disabling address validation doesn't affect structural address validations defined through this task, which always remain enforced.
