All employees must have one (and only one) primary address on record at any point in time, but can have an unlimited number of secondary addresses (such as Summer or Weekend).

If Oracle payroll is not installed (HR: User Type system profile option set to HR User), the application displays the default United States International Style Address window. You use this window to enter all primary and secondary addresses for employees and their contacts at Oracle HR sites. You can also enter addresses for all the US contiguous states, Military or US Territories, as well as international addresses. The application performs standard validation of field entries, for example, for zip code length and duty station codes and names.

The application uses the US International address style for the forwarding address in a Separation action. When you update the Separation action to the database, the application updates the person's primary address with the forwarding address you indicated in the Separation action. If you have selected a non-US International address style, the complete forwarding address may not appear on the RPA.

If your agency uses the National Finance Center (NFC) as a provider, you must configure the default United States International Style Address window.

See: Defining the Personal Address Flexfield for NFC

Use the Address window to enter addresses. You can enter address information either by choosing the taskflow button on the Person form or from the RPA.

   To enter an address:

1. The Style is preset to United States (International). Click the Address field to open the Personal Address window.

2. Enter address information in this window and click OK.

   By default, the first address you enter is the primary address. You can only have one primary address.

   Note: If your agency uses NFC as a provider, ensure that the employees primary address corresponds to the employee's primary home address. NFC uses this address for taxation purposes.

5. Save your work.
