This is predefined for country United States in any new instance as STATE, COUNTY, CITY
and POSTAL CODE.
For other countries, you can simply create the geography structure depending on your
requirement or just use the Copy Structure feature to create the geography structure based on the
geography structure of another country.
First query the country for which you want setup Address Validation by Country Code or Name.
Then click on the link under Structure to create or view the existing structure.
If you see there is a Red Cross mark next to the new Geography levels added to the structure.
This means there are no Locations defined under that level yet. And the Green Check mark
indicates that there are Locations defined for that Geography level. So in the above example,
there are states defined but not counties or cities or postal codes defined for this structure.
In this case we need to create values for County, City and Postal Codes. For all new instances,
system will already include all the states for United States Structure.
Go back to the main page for Geography, hierarchy and click on the link below View Details.
Now click on the link under View details again for any State and you will see the list of Counties
under that state. To add more Counties, click on the button ‘Add 5 Rows’ and add County
information as applicable.
Now click on the link under View details again for any County and you will see the list of Cities
under that state. To add more Cities, click on the button ‘Add 5 Rows’ and add City information
as applicable.
Now we will go back to the structure on the main page. Here you will see that the Red Cross
marks changed to Green Check marks after defining the locations.
Go to the Geography Hierarchy page for the country in question and click on the link below
Manage Validations.
Here the key setup is to check the options Tax Validation and Geography Validation based on
your requirement.
1. Error: Only completely valid addresses can be saved, with all mandatory address elements
entered.
2. Mandatory Fields Only: Invalid addresses can be saved without warning users, but only if
users enter a value for all mandatory addresses elements, as defined by the geography types
selected for Geography Validation usage.
3. No Validation: All addresses can be saved including incomplete and invalid addresses.
4. Warning: Invalid addresses are saved after warning users.
Note: The Geography Validation usage determines which address elements are mandatory during
address entry, based on the geography validation level selected. For example, if the validation
level is Mandatory Fields Only, then users must enter address elements that have Geography
Validation usage, but the address can still be saved if values are invalid.
Tax Validation: For example, for the United States, you had specified the North America
address style for HR_LOCATIONS_ALL. Then for that combination, you map the US country
structure to HR_LOCATIONS_ALL attributes, and specify that County, State, and City are used
for tax validation. When a sales transaction involves an address with the North America address
style, the address must have the correct county, state, and city combination, based on Geography
Hierarchy data, to be considered valid for tax calculation.
Important: For either usage, do not skip more than one consecutive level unless you are certain
that the selected geography types can uniquely identify geographies. For example, the country
structure is: State, County, City, and Postal Code, and you want to select just State and Postal
Code for geography or tax validation. However, for the combination of California and 94065, the
city can be either Redwood Shores or Redwood City. In this case, you should also select at least
City for geography or tax validation.
