Postcode Lookup (UK)

Hi @juneterris87 

That is currently not a feature out of the box even for US. 

Here is an idea that you can upvote so that maybe Acumatica will enable it:

Hi community,

Appreciate this an old post but would any UK companies still want a solution to this.

Thanks

Hi ​@juneterris87,

Quick update on this, since it’s changed since the original reply. Acumatica now has a native Address Lookup Integration feature. You enable it on Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) under Customer Management, set up a provider on Address Providers (CS103000), and select it on Site Preferences (SM200505) (and Portal Preferences if you want it on the Self-Service Portal). Supported providers are Google Maps and Azure Maps, and you’ll need an API key. For the UK you’d use Google Maps, since its supported countries are US, UK, Canada and Mexico (Azure is US only).

Once it’s set up, one of the documented use cases is exactly this - finding an address from a postal code when the other details are missing - and it can add, update or fill in the address on any form with address fields. There’s a Test Connection button on CS103000 so you can confirm the provider is working straight away.

Setup steps and details here: https://help.acumatica.com/Wiki/ShowWiki.aspx?pageid=6e288e35-6afe-4659-8530-dc20a339175a
Hope this will help you.

We’ve got a site in the UK who would love to have a good postcode lookup available inside Acumatica. I’ve tried setting up the existing Acumatica Address Lookup with Google Maps and it doesn’t do what UK people expect. We expect to be able to put in a postcode and then select the correct address from a list of all the valid addresses at that postcode. Almost all UK websites work that way. It makes entering an address very quick and easy.  I have attached a screenshot below that shows how it typically works. I’ve entered a postcode and I have a dropdown list of the 30 or so addresses in that postcode, so I just have to select the one I want. We’d love to have an option for this in Acumatica, please!

Hi,

I’ve done a customisation using Ideal postcodes as the provider.

Whatever entry you use will fill in the company details if applicable. 

List of addresses 

Type part of an address into line 1 and get a list of results

Would need to pay for credits from Ideal, I’m using a test account. I’ve extended it to every screen where a postcode could be entered.
