Steps: Set Up Address Components by Country

Steps: Set Up Address Components by Country

You can enable, hide, or require address components by country in your tenant.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Address Components by Country
     task.
    Security:
    Set Up: Contact Info, IDs, and Personal Data
     domain in the Contact Information functional area.
  2. Select a country to configure address components for it.
  3. Select the
    Address Components
     tab to configure addresses for all functional areas in Workday other than Recruiting.
  4. (Optional) Include additional address components when you enter or update address information that displays when you edit a home or work address.
    When you edit additional address components and submit the changes, those changes are saved, but don't display on the UI. Example: When you edit the home address of a worker, the changes don't display on the worker profile. You can see the changes when you edit the worker's home address.
  5. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Allowed
    Select the check box to enable the relevant address component.
    Required
    Select the check box to require the relevant address component.
    Enforce Required in Web Services
    If you require an address component, select this check box to include this component in the relevant web services.
    Label Override
    Workday delivers label overrides for address components for each country and uses the override as the descriptive label for the component. You can't change the label override for a required component. You can clear the
    Allowed
    check box for an address component and it will no longer be used.
  6. As you complete the task for a country with local script address components, consider:
    Option Description
    Enable Enter Western Script Check Box
    This option enables you to:
    • Enter the required local script address components that display by default.
    • Select the
      Enter Western Script
       check box. When you select it, you can enter either local or Western script address components, but Western are required.
    Western Script Required
    This option enables you to enter only Western script address components.
    Local Script Required
    This option enables you to enter only local script address components.
    Some address components are always required and you can't configure them. The required components vary by country. Example: For Canada, the required components are:
    Address Line 1
    ,
    Region
    , and
    Postal Code
    . For Japan, the required components are:
    Postal Code
    ,
    City
    , and
    Address Line 1
    . For the United States, the required components are:
    Address Line 1
    ,
    City
    ,
    Region
    , and
    Postal Code
    .
  7. (Optional) Use the directional arrows to configure the display order of address components in tasks where you enter address data, and in the
    View Address Components by Country
     report.
  8. (Optional) Ensure consistency of address components in Workday and web services:
    1. Access the
      View Address Component Configuration Sync
      report to identify address components that aren't in sync with hidden or additional address components.
    2. Review and resolve any inconsistencies identified in the report.
    3. Submit configuration changes on the
      Maintain Address Components by Country
      task.
    4. Opt in to
      Address Component Sync for Get Web Services
      on the
      Maintain Feature Opt-Ins
      report to sync address components with web services.
Use the
View Address Components by Country
 report to view your address component configurations.
