The Main Address module stores the worker's primary address. You cannot delete this primary addressl.
You choose how to display your address in SSHR by configuring the Personal Address Details descriptive flexfield.
US Payroll Users: If the Address Validation Using Vertex Web Services feature is enabled, then Vertex Web Services validates addresses when employees add or update their address using the Personal Information self-service page. See: Address Validation Using Vertex Web Services
Address styles for new addresses
When you enter a new address in SSHR, you must select a country. The SSHR application uses the localization code for this country to select an address style from the segment inclusion list. For example, if you select United States as the country, the application retrieves the first segment with the prefix US from the segment inclusion list. The order of the segment list determines which style is selected by the application. For example, if the segment list contains US_CUSTOM before US and US_GLB, the application chooses US_CUSTOM.
Address styles for existing addresses
If you are updating an existing address and you are not required to select a country, or if the address is read-only, the application uses the existing style. The required style must be available in the segment list.
Generic address styles
You use the GENERIC address style to provide a style for localizations without a defined style in the flex segment list. For example, if you select India (IN) as the country when entering a new address, and if no IN segment is available in the flex segment inclusion list, the application uses the GENERIC style. For this reason, you must always include a GENERIC style in the flex inclusion list.
If required, you can create your own generic style with the name GENERIC_<name>, for example, GENERIC_CUSTOM. If the application finds the GENERIC_CUSTOM style before the GENERIC style in the segment list, the application uses the custom style.
Changing Address Styles
If you change from one style to another, you may see differences between the styles and the address may not appear as expected.
For example, you enter applicant details in iRecruitment and use the US_IRC address style. This style uses the following segments:
segment1 (Street)
segment2 (Town or City)
segment3 (District)
Then you hire the applicant and display address information in SSHR using the US address style. This style uses the following segments:
segment1 (Street)
segment2 (Town or City)
segment4 (Country)
Both segment1 and segment2 are included in both styles and displayed on the SSHR page. However, segment3 from the US_IRC style is not displayed because it is not included in the US style. segment4 is displayed but has no value as it was not available in the original address entry page.
Note: This behavior applies whenever you switch from a XX_xxxx style to a XX style.
