Cards: Address validation

Often when I set up a new customer on my MYOB system, there is address data missing.  Quite often the postcode needs to be looked up and I either have to go to the Australia Post website or call the customer for full address details.

 

Most modern systems allow a cascading dropdown list as you type the city or suburb, allowing you to select the appropriate record and pre-populate the remaining address fields.

 

A further enhancement would be to then link to a Google map to the card address so that when you need to go on a site visit you already have the directions.

 

I guess this is not on a high priority wish list but this functionality would greatly enhance data integrity and improve workflow.

Hi Everyone


The AccountRight Browser interface allows users to select an address from the suggested picker (which will include the postcode) or manually added if not found.

Great idea. The little issue is that this software is used all over the world (as far as I know) at least in Australia and New Zealand - no doubt USA as well. It would be hard for it to easily know about all 3 countries and more.

I have worked with ERP systems which are "localised" to suit regional requirements.  In fact MYOB has localised versions for New Zealand and Australia in terms of GST requiremnts.  

 

So, in terms of adding address validation, I would consider this another "localised" feature which could be added to the functionality.

 

As I said in my initiasl post, it is probably not a high priority item but certainly possible.

YES PLEASE!!!!!  This would definitely speed up entry of new records.  We have a separate servicing database for our servicing department which has this function and I'm very jealous! ;-)

We don't use the Web version so this is no help to me...  Would be great to see this in the desktop version please
