Updating Address (City field)

Can the address fields (particularly, the City field) be updated in Tess thru the backend by a query?  And if so, what table(s) are involved.  We have a website connected to Tess that is allowing free-form entry of Addresses and is dirtying the Cities data with misspellings, thus multiple iterations of the same city are appearing in the T-Stats summaries.

  • Hi Randall,

    Good day.

    it is t_address table.

    SELECT     address_no, customer_no, address_type,
    street1, street2, city,
    state, postal_code, country,
    start_dt, end_dt, months, primary_ind,
    inactive, alt_signor,mail_purposes,
    label, geo_area, create_loc, created_by, create_dt,
    last_updated_by, last_update_dt, delivery_point,
    ncoa_session, ncoa_action
    FROM         T_ADDRESS

    It is almost free to update. Modifications can be seen in  "Audit" under "Tranactions" tab.

    try to correct the address is always a problem.

    You can use some third party softwares, or someone else has to manually fix them.

    or fix the website, make user select a city from dropdown list, in this case, you need a small table to keep the city names .

     

    have fun.

    Ben

  • Thanks Ben, I was fairly certain it could be done, but I don't have access to the backend as we operate in a consortium.
