Define Address Configuration for Supplier Addresses

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following setup tasks from the Suppliers functional area to configure country-specific address definitions for managing supplier address data:

1. Manage Geographies

2. Manage Address Formats

These setup tasks are used to optionally modify the default country address format. (Supplier addresses can be entered using the default format). Country-specific address formats can be defined, along with the loading of country geographic location data for performing address validation. If you have a high concentration of suppliers in specific countries, you may want to leverage these setups tasks to streamline supplier address entry and maintenance, by tailoring formats to the specific postal requirements of these countries.

Note: These setup tasks are supported by the Oracle Trading Community Architecture, which manages external party data used by supplier and customer master data. Changes to these setup tasks impact other products using Trading Community Architecture location data.

Task 1: Manage Geographies

Use this task to configure the following geography data setup functions:

• Load geography data.

• Define the geography structure per country, which can be organized in a hierarchy. For example, State, Country, City, Postal Code.

• Map geography data to address fields.

• Set validations and controls on the address fields.

Task 2: Manage Address Formats

Use this task to configure the following setup functions for address formats:

• Select and modify the default address style format.

• Define country-specific address style formats, which include the settings:

  • Address field sequence

  • Address data standards and validations

  • Required fields

Note: Address cleansing is not available in Oracle Procurement Cloud. The settings selected on the Address Cleansing Level dialog box have no effect on how Data Quality Management functions.
