This rule is used to validate the following data in a Student Address record:

• Postal Code

To perform this validation, the following information is used:

• Address Format
• Expiry Date
• Next Scan Date

The postal code provided does not appear to be a valid Canadian Postal Code.

This rule does not apply if:

1) the Address Format = ATS (Address Format) or RuralAlbertaAddress (Address Format)

OR

2) if the Expiry Date of the Student Address record has not been set or is future dated:

In these cases the Next Scan Date will not be set.

Otherwise, the Next Scan Date is set to:

• 7 days from the current date (as Canada Post information is updated weekly in PASI).

Note: Next Scan Date is only set for Active Students.

This validation rule is in effect for all school years.

This rule follows the PASI Data Format Guidelines to determine if the address is in Canada.

When this validation rule is triggered, the following message is returned:

Where:

• {PostalCode} is the Postal Code of the record
• {RefID} is the Reference ID (Student Address) of the record.

This rule applies to:

• Release 5.3 - Updated to no longer apply 6 months after the Expiry Date.
• Release 4.2 – Added/Updated
• Release 7.04 (F7843) - Updated to ensure the Next Scan date is only set for Active Students.
• Release 7.07 (F7850) - Updated to consider Rural Alberta Address.
• Release 7.08 (F7848) - Updated to skip Postal Code validation for ATS Addresses.
• Release 7.10 F9292 - updated so ATS and Rural Addresses do not trigger a Next Scan Date
