Copying an Address

Instead of creating an address from scratch, you can create a new address using an existing address. This is possible through copying an address. On copying an address, the details including the characteristics and entities are copied to the new address. You can then edit the details, if required.

Prerequisites

To copy an address, you should have:

  • Address (whose copy you want to create) defined in the application

  • Countries and their states defined in the application

  • House types defined in the HOUSE_​TYPE lookup field

  3. Click the Duplicate button in the Address zone.

    The Address screen appears. It contains the following sections:
