Description

Actions with the connector:

Not possible with the connector:

• Add or delete contacts, delivery addresses, departments.

Points of attention:

• When you change a person, you enter the organisation code and the person code.
• You cannot delete the contacts with the UpdateConnector, but you can block them.

P.O. Box address

Deliver the following fields for a P.O. Box address:

• PbAd (Postbus): 1
• NmNr (Huisnummer): The P.O. Box number

Deliver the postal code and city as well.

Addresses

• In an address, you must always enter the country code in the 'CoId' field.
• Deliver the fields that are needed for a complete address (this depends on the properties of the country code).
• For the first address (in practice, for a new record), you do not need to deliver a start date in the 'BeginDate' field. If an address already exists, use 'BeginDate' to indicate the effective date of the address change.
• If the 'ResZip' field has the value 'True', the system looks up the city for the postal code entered. In this case, you do in fact still need to enter a city in the 'Rs' field. If the system cannot find a city for the postal code entered, it uses the value entered in 'Rs' for the city.
• You can change delivery addresses. The existing delivery address is retrieved using two fields:

  BcCoOga: Organisation number

  ExAd: Name of the delivery address
