| # Address Jurisdiction Verification Utility (tctax6210m000) Use this session to verify that the address data is associated with the correct GEO code and in this way, with the correct tax jurisdiction. The tax provider uses this information. You can specify a range of addresses. You can run this session: For periodic verification whether the addresses are valid If you implement a tax provider, to verify that the addresses are valid and to associate tax jurisdictions with existing addresses. The utility processes only the addresses of which you registered the country in the Countries for Destination Sales Tax (tctax6103m000) session. See for details GEO code verification, later in this topic. Address data format The address data must be in the correct format to be used by the tax provider. Use the Address Conversion Utility for Taxation (tctax6211m000) session to convert address data to the required format, if this is needed. Updating the database If you select the Update GEO Code Jurisdiction check box, LN updates the addresses' GEO codes. If you use Vertex's O Series, all the updated addresses are by default set to be inside city limits. If you clear the Update GEO Code Jurisdiction check box, LN only prints the report of the possible changes and the errors. GEO code verification GEO Code Verification consists of the following steps: The tax provider validates the tax jurisdiction that is associated with each address, based on the address's city, state/province, and ZIP/postal code. The tax provider returns the GEO code that identifies the jurisdiction. LN compares the returned GEO code with the address's current GEO code. If the GEO codes are different, LN changes the address's GEO code into the returned GEO code. GEO Code Verification consists of the following steps: If the tax provider returns more than one GEO code and the address's GEO code is not included, LN changes the address's GEO code into the first returned GEO code. If the address information does not correspond to a valid jurisdiction in the tax provider, the tax provider cannot return a GEO code. LN does not change the address data, and prints an error message.
