If necessary, the field can be cleared and another employee name can be entered.

Address Selection Field

A list of available person addresses. Standard options are Business Address, Billing Address, Home Address, and PO Box. A user can add more addresses using the Add New Address button on the Address Management toolbar. See Adding New Addresses and Phone Numbers.

Address Fields (Street, City, State, ZIP, County, Country)

Person address information. If you enter a company for the person, the company's Street Address flows down to the Person's Business Address. You can modify the Business Address as necessary.

If the system recognizes the ZIP Code entered by a user, it automatically populates the City, State, and County fields. If the system does not recognize the ZIP Code, it does not modify the City, State, or County field. The default country is United States. See Understanding the Postal Code Look-up Functionality for more information.

The Postal Code look-up functionality does not currently work in the Aptify web interface. When using the Aptify web interface, postal codes must be entered manually.

The ZIP Code field is a text string. To search records using ZIP Code with numeric operators (such as >, <, and =), select the ZipCode5Numeric filter within the Find Items dialog box. ZipCode5Numeric converts a ZIP Code text string to an integer. ZIP Codes that include letters (such as Canadian ZIP Codes) are converted to a value of -1. 

Bad Address

Beginning with 5.5.1, Aptify updates the system to include functionality to mark any invalid address as a Bad Address with a check box located on the Persons record. When a user marks a Person's address as bad, that designation is visible in other areas that may rely on that address (such as the Ship To address on an order).

This option is disabled by default The availability of this option is controlled using two input properties, as described in Managing the Bad Address Option.

In Aptify web, the Bad Address option is always displayed on any form where the address control is displayed, no matter how the administrator has configured the bad address input properties. However, enabling or disabling the Bad Address option is effective only when it is done on the Companies and Persons top-level entities. This is a known issue set to be resolved in a future release of Aptify. Contact Aptify Technical Support for updates.

  • The field has a value of 0 if no payments have been applied to the membership product's order.
  • When the amount of an applied payment is greater than the Extended price of the membership product's order line (the membership product price minus any applicable discount), then this field displays the Extended price for the membership order line.
  • When the amount of an applied payment is less than the Extended price of the membership order line, this field displays the full amount of that payment.
  • If there are multiple payments against the order that are all less than the membership order line's Extended price, then the most recent payment amount is used. If multiple payments happen to share the same Payment Date and Time, then the payment with the highest amount is used.
