country check validations -How to achieve in MDM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

As you know in R/3 we have country check validations (For an Example, country code= US then postal code length = 6 and POBox=Required)

We want to achieve this in MDM.

Would you please suggest me the possible ways?

If you have any material, document which would explain this, please forward to me.

Please revert back to me if you need any further clarification

Hi,

The best would be to perform external validation via enrichment controller with a 3rd party provider. Using external service of address validation, you can check not only the format of zip code, but also its consistency with the other address elements. If one of the elements is not valid, it could also automatically correct it.

You cannot call an API from MDM data manager.

Best method is to create a Country field with a lookup table that has all values for countries.

Other way is to allow the portal to validate before stored in the MDM.

Hi Devaraj,

Yes U can provide country check validation in the Data Manager.

Go to Data Manager ,select Record Mode.

there go to Validation tab.

then Right click and Add a validation.

Then for field u want write the Validation Expression As per Ur Requirement.

For PoBox u can go to console and make the field PoBox as "Required".

Im sending u the link for all this which will Help u to understand the tool.
