Section 11
Address Capture Table

The Address Capture table is used to store information you enter on a special screen during the transaction entry process. You might have certain transaction types that require more information that you can enter on the transaction line item screen, and this table is where that information is stored. The trancodes table contains a field called field_types. This field defines a link to a record the Address Field names table which in turn contains a list of fields that you provide a name for. For example, you might need to collect special information when someone applies for a building permit. When you enter the information during transaction entry, the Address Capture table is where the data are stored. Each field in the table is listed, along with a short description, below:
  1. RCPT_NUMBER

    This is the RCPT_NUMBER that is assigned by the program when you enter a new cash receipt. When you add information to the address entry screen, the program will insert that information into the Address Capture table. The RCPT_NUMBER links the address information to the specific receipt.

  2. CUST_NAME

    This is the name you enter on the address entry screen, which is carried back to the payment entry screen automatically.

  3. ADDRESS1

    This is the first line of the address you enter on the address entry screen.

  4. ADDRESS2

    This is the second line of the address you enter on the address entry screen.

  5. CITY

    This is the city portion of the address you enter on the address entry screen. This value can be preset to a default value you specify via the ADDRESS-DEFAULT-CITY setting in the Misc Parms table.

  6. STATE

    This is the state portion of the address you enter on the address entry screen. This value can be preset to a default value you specify via the ADDRESS-DEFAULT-STATE setting in the Misc Parms table.

  7. zip

    This is the zip-code portion of the address you enter on the address entry screen. This value can be preset to a default value you specify via the ADDRESS-DEFAULT-ZIP setting in the Misc Parms table.

  8. phone_number

    This is the phone_number you enter on the address entry screen. This value can be preset to a default value you specify via the ADDRESS-DEFAULT-PHONE setting in the Misc Parms table. Usually this would be an area code.

  9. field_type

    This is the name of the field_types value that is used to define the additional field names you can enter in the non-address portion of the address entry screen. It links directly to a record in the Address Field Names table, which in turn defines the screen prompts that appear when you use the address capture feature.

  10. F01 through F30

    These fields store the text you entered on the address entry screen (below the address portion at the top of the screen.) The values are stored as plain text in the address capture table.
