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. To learn more about these limits and adjusting your address data for better geocoding results, see Troubleshooting.
