If one of the mentioned minimal values are not met by the result received from the TomTom geocoding service, it is deemed to be too imprecise and is not saved in flex.bi. The affected customer/supplier record is assigned a value of -1 for the property Geocoding needed and is skipped during the next geocoding runs, until the customer/supplier information is altered, providing more address details. Also the address and precision returned from the geocoding service is saved in Address Precision and Geocoding address properties, respectively, to help you determine if you should adjust the address information in flex.bi or the minimum precision or similarity parameters, to get better geocoding results. The calculated similarity is saved in the Address similarity property. To learn more about these limits and adjusting your address data for better geocoding results, see Troubleshooting 3824420108.

3. Import Your Data

If you haven't imported any data yet, proceed with data import.

If you have already imported data, make sure that you have imported the customer register (CUVc). If you haven't done that, import this register. After importing customer register, geocoding will be run automatically according to the schedule you set in the step 2.

4. Select Calculated Members For Latitude and Longitude

...

If, after comparing the geocoding result stored in the Geocoding address property and customer/supplier address data stored in properties street, city, geocoding_needed, inv_addr2, inv_addr3, inv_addr4, country_code, you feel that the geocoding result is good enough to be stored in the system, you can lower the minimum address precision and similarity limits (see step 2) to match the values in properties Address precession and Address similarity. After changing these values in the Update Account section's Plan parameters box, all you have to do is wait for the next scheduled geocoding run when the latitude and longitude values will be fetched for the particular customer/supplier.

Likewise, if you feel that the geocoding results stored are not precise enough, you can increase the minimum address precision and similarity limits (see step 2).
