Mail Code Address Validation
TINS requires a valid address on batch transactions when:
- A new mail code is submitted (T-code 650).
– or – - A mail code address is changed (T-code 652).
Certain mail codes are excluded from the address validation requirements in TINS, such as mail codes:
- Generated by HRIS or SPRS
- Added or changed in TINS by agencies and institutions of higher education for state employees (ownership type = E).
- Set up for tax refunds (e.g., TXX mail code).
TINS attempts to validate the address information for all other mail code transactions:
| If TINS finds … | Then TINS will … |
|---|---|
| A single address match without alterations | Accept the address. |
| A single address match with alterations | Accept the address and issue a warning message on the agency report TINS 84104A or TINS 84104W. |
| Multiple address matches | Reject the batch transaction and issue an error message on the agency report TINS 84104A. |
