Are there data entry guidelines for recording both a mailing address and a residence address for a person?


Sometimes both a residence address and a mailing address need to be recorded for a person in JIS.  To comply with the U.S. Postal Addressing Standards, choose one of the following recommended methods--depending on whether both addresses have the same zip code.


Method 1--Same zip code for mailing and residence addresses:



  • Type the residence address in the first field on the left side of the address (Addr) line.
  • Type the mailing address in the second field on the right side of the address line.

    Example:

    Addr: 352766 PACIFIC CREST                    PO BOX 95                    



Method 2--Different zip codes for mailing and residence addresses:



  • Type the mailing address on the PER screen, starting in the first field on the left side of the address (Addr) line. Use the second field on the right side of the address line if the mailing address is too long to fit in the first address field.

    Example:

    Addr: 115683 MICHAELANGELO PA      RKWAY NE                 
  • Add the residence address on the ADH screen using the standard data entry practices.



Note:
Printed warrants use all address lines on the PER screen.



Please refer to the Address Data Entry Guidelines in the JIS Online Manual.
