Tools that can determine if Address Processing is working properly

- USPS Zip + 4 (http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp)
- If AA and CLEAN_Address() both indicate that the address is invalid, the address should be checked at the USPS site.
- The CLEAN_Address() database is based on data provided by the USPS. If CLEAN_Address() is providing different results than the USPS, please enter a ticket.
Running AVI as a Batch Process for all Addresses
There is a batch process under the Admin menu called Address Standardization Batch Process which can be run to check all addresses.
Ideally, it should be run after the initial conversion. Authorized users need to be granted direct execute privileges to run the process.
The process generates a results page similar to:
Days since last standardized: 0
Maximum records to verify: 100000
Activity since:
State:
Processing began:12/16/2008 09:40PM
Processing ended:12/17/2008 12:25AM
82714 valid addresses processed.
3691 invalid addresses encountered.
You can review all invalid addresses at Reporting | Customers | Address Reports | Invalid Address Report which includes an option to output the results to Excel.
