All available values

[Former Member]

Hi

I'm using SFAPI and trying to create some business logic for all available address types.

Tag location: <sfobject> -> <person> -> <address_information> -> <address_type>

My question is: are those address types static (predefined for all customers of SF)?

As I see, the only available address types are:

- home

- mailing

- payroll

- benefits

- hosts

Using SF UI, I see that the combobox contains predefined address types while adding an address for a person:

If they are not static where those address types can be defined?

Thanks.

An example of an address information with the address type available:

                  <address_information>
                     <address1>5602 Argyle Rd NEW</address1>
                     <address_type>home</address_type>
                     <city>Norwalk</city>
                     <country>USA</country>
                     <created_by>sfadmin</created_by>
                     <created_on_timestamp>2020-12-23T10:19:28.000Z</created_on_timestamp>
                     <end_date>9999-12-31</end_date>
                     <is_global_model_address>false</is_global_model_address>
                     <last_modified_by>sfadmin</last_modified_by>
                     <last_modified_on>2020-12-23T10:19:28.000Z</last_modified_on>
                     <start_date>2020-12-25</start_date>
                     <state>AL</state>
                     <zip_code>90651</zip_code>
                  </address_information>

Hi and welcome to the SAP Community!

Thank you for visiting SAP Community to get answers to your questions. Since you're asking a question here for the first time, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers (if you haven't already), as it provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members. For example, you can outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful), share screenshots of what you've seen/done, make sure you've applied the appropriate tags, and use a more descriptive subject line. The more details you provide, the more likely it is that members will be able to assist you.

Should you wish, you can revise your question by selecting Actions, then Edit (although once someone answers your question, you'll lose the ability to edit the question -- but if that happens, you can leave more details in a comment).

Finally, if you're hoping to connect with readers, please consider adding a picture to your profile. Here's how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5JdUbyjfMA&list=PLpQebylHrdh5s3gwy-h6RtymfDpoz3vDS. By personalizing your profile with a photo of you, you encourage readers to respond.

Hello Maxim,

Address Type values are derived from picklist- addressType. Navigate to Picklist Center from Admin Center and search for addressType then you should be able to get hold of values it can have or if you want to add more.

If you want to check it from other options you can navigate to SFAPI Data Dictionary and navigate to particular field of Compound Employee to check its type and then navigate to picklist center. Below blog will give more details.

Thank you very much for your answer!

Are there any API calls to select all available 'addressType' fields programmatically without looking at "Picklist Center" admin page manually?
