When using the universe object of BEST ADDRESS in Business Objects, the address pulled is determined follows:
- If there is a valid temporary address at the time (based on address start/end dates), use the temporary address
- If there is a valid seasonal address at the time (based on seasonal flag and address start/end dates), use the seasonal address
- If there is a preferred address, use the preferred address.
- Otherwise, use the first address found.
Note that temporary and seasonal addresses are not defined by the address type; instead they are defined by the seasonal flag and the start/end dates on the address.
In other words, if a valid seasonal or temporary address exists, it will override the preferred address during the time during which it is valid.
