Manually verifying addresses with QAS

In all iMIS modules where address verification is available, you can use the Verify Address button to manually verify an address. You can always manually verify an address even if auto-verification of addresses is enabled.

Windows and dialogs used in this procedure

Before you begin

To manually verify an address with QAS

  1. From the iMIS module that displays an address, click Verify Address.

    The QAS for iMIS window appears. The Database field displays the country specified in the address from the iMIS module, provided that you have that country address database installed in your implementation of QAS. Otherwise, the Database field displays the Default country database specified in the iMIS Customer Setup window. The Enter [address type] field is blank, and the search status line displays the address from the iMIS module for which QAS is searching for potential matches.

    After QAS has finished searching for potential matches to the selected address, the status line displays how many matches were found, and the matches are listed in the results area.

  2. Does the results area list a correct match for the selected address from the iMIS module?
    • If the results area lists a correct match, double-click the match.

      The results area displays the full address details for the selected match, and Accept and Cancel buttons appear below the results area.

    • If the results area does not list any correct matches, or if the area is empty and the search status line displays 0 matches found, perform a type-down search to manually search for a correct match.
      1. In the QAS for iMIS window, click New.

        The results area and the Enter [address type] field is cleared.

      2. From the Mode options, select Typedown.
      3. From the Database drop-down list, select the country in which you want to search for a matching address.
      4. In the Enter [address type] field, begin entering either the postcode or the place name in which you think the address might be located.

        After you've entered enough characters for QAS to narrow down the list of matching postcodes or places, the potential matches are listed in the results area.

      5. From the list in the results area, double-click the most likely potential match.

        The search status line displays the selected postcode or place name, and the Enter [address type] field is cleared.

      6. In the Enter [address type] field, begin entering the street name, organization name, or P.O. box number.

        After you've entered enough characters for QAS to narrow down the list of matching streets, organization names, or P.O. boxes, the potential matches are listed in the results area.

      7. If the results area lists a correct match, double-click the match.

        The results area displays the full address details for the selected match, and Accept and Cancel buttons appear below the results area.

  3. Click Accept to confirm the address displayed in the results area and update the current address in the iMIS module accordingly.
  4. If you are working in the Manage Customers window of iMIS, repeat this process for each of the three customer addresses.
