USPS address validation

Infor Public Sector now integrates with the USPS API for validating US addresses.

Use the new Address node in the Resources configuration to enable the integration. You must enter a user ID, which you can obtain from the Postal Service.

To use the integration, permissions must also be set correctly in Access Control.

See Access control for USPS address validation.

If the integration is enabled, the USPS API is used to validate the data that you enter when you add or update a US address. If no matching address is found, you cannot add the address and an error message is displayed.

No matching address found

If a match is found, the address will be added or updated in Infor Public Sector, and the USPS API modifies the address information as needed, such as filling in missing pieces like the pre-direction, city, or ZIP+4.

Address updated

To add a non-US address, select the new Foreign check box. This disables the USPS validation so the address can be added.

Note: USPS validation is not supported for block, intersection, or range addresses.
