Customer Inquiry - Customer Address Maintenance
Use Customer Address Maintenance to maintain additional addresses for customers, if needed. The addresses can apply to a customer, a mortgage holder or other third party. For example, you can assign customer additional addresses to print on bills, lien letters, shutoff notices, or past due notices for mortgage holders, banks or other third parties that should be notified concerning the account. You can also use this maintenance to maintain seasonal addresses for customers and you can specify the period of time for which the address applies. You have the option of either assigning an Address ID that was defined during Address Code Maintenance or manually entering the customer additional name and address.
Tips:
To set up a customer seasonal mailing addresses, you will check the Active option. You will also set the months that the address should be used and can specify that the address will be used each year, if you want. This means that once you enter the seasonal address and effective dates, you don't have to go back each year and enter it again. If you have customer who regularly live at two different addresses during the year, setting the From and Through dates for their seasonal addresses to begin and end once can be a big time saver.
