Global post code/city/state/province/country selection

Is there a best-practise approach for a global application
needing to
let users input their addresses?
Are there any free MySQL DB's that have this info available?
I'm thinking of maybe three ways to go about this and maybe
there are
more but I just don't know what's going to result in the most
accurate
data and easiest mechanism for users to input their address
info.
1: AJAX calls populating relevant selects onChange
2: Non-JS clients doing a round trip to the server and back
instead
(possibly multiple times if need be)
3: If there is no way to get a free DB set up for both steps
1 and 2 to
reference, is there a free webservice instead (although this
could be
slow/unreliable unless someone knows of an outstanding
service they
could recommend).
Perhaps there are better ways?
Hopefully many developers have come across this before and
settled on
the best way to achieve this and are willing to share their
experiences
and advice.
Thanks.

Oh, and further to that, what's the best free way to gleam
the users
location from their IP addy? GeoLocator.cfc? Other? I'm
thinking that
would be a good starting point when the user first encounters
the
address form; have it automagically select guestimate
country/state/city.

Using AJAX to load city, state, metro area based on zip code

I'm new to getting APEX to work with AJAX properly. I've been reading some tutorials and trying to apply what they do to my situation, but I'm running into a problem. I have a text field item for zip code. What I want to happen is that when someone enters in a zip code, I want to use AJAX to populate 3 different select lists (1 each for state, city, and metro area) and to populate a checkbox (of neighborhoods based on the zip code as well). I'm looking at the examples in:
http://www.oraclealchemist.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/s281946.pdf
and
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:63
But they all use examples where the value of a text field item is used to populate 1 select list. I can't figure out how to apply that methodology to populate 3 select lists and 1 checkbox item. I've got all my SELECT statements written to populate these fields based on the value of the zip code text field item, but don't know how to convert what I already have to use AJAX.
Here are my SELECT statements:
P2805_STATE lov:
===========================================================================================
SELECT INITCAP(GEO_DATA_STATE.STATEFULLNAME) d,GEO_DATA_STATE.STATE v
FROM GEO_DATA_STATE, GEO_DATA_ZIP
WHERE isPrimary = 'P' and
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.STATE)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_STATE.STATE)) and
GEO_DATA_ZIP.ZIPCODE = :P2805_ZIPCODE
ORDER BY STATEFULLNAME
P2805_CITY lov:
===========================================================================================
SELECT UNIQUE (INITCAP(GEO_DATA_CITY.CITY)) d,GEO_DATA_CITY.CITY v
FROM GEO_DATA_STATE, GEO_DATA_ZIP, GEO_DATA_CITY
WHERE
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.STATE)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_STATE.STATE)) and
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.CITY)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_CITY.CITY)) and
GEO_DATA_ZIP.ZIPCODE = :P2805_ZIPCODE
ORDER BY GEO_DATA_CITY.CITY
P2805_METRO_AREA lov:
===========================================================================================
SELECT UNIQUE (INITCAP(GEO_DATA_METRO.METRO_AREA)) d,GEO_DATA_METRO.CODE v
FROM GEO_DATA_STATE, GEO_DATA_ZIP, GEO_DATA_METRO
WHERE
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.STATE)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_STATE.STATE)) and
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.METROCODE)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_METRO.CODE)) and
GEO_DATA_ZIP.ZIPCODE = :P2805_ZIPCODE
ORDER BY 1
P2805_NEIGHBORHOOD lov:
===========================================================================================
SELECT UNIQUE (INITCAP(GEO_DATA_HOOD.HOOD)) d,GEO_DATA_HOOD.HOOD v
FROM GEO_DATA_STATE, GEO_DATA_ZIP, GEO_DATA_METRO, GEO_DATA_HOOD
WHERE
trim(upper(GEO_DATA_ZIP.STATE)) = trim(upper(GEO_DATA_STATE.STATE)) and

GEO_DATA_HOOD.METRO_CODE = GEO_DATA_METRO.CODE and
GEO_DATA_ZIP.ZIPCODE = :P2805_ZIPCODE
ORDER BY 1Do all these statements need to go in 1 on-demand process? Where do I go from here?

end;It doesn't look like I would have to modify the appendToSelect function at all, correct? Is the checkbox that I need to populate handled the same way as these select lists? And it seems like I only need to make the 2 changes that you mentioned to get_AJAX_SELECT_XML function, right? So my javascript function should be like:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function get_AJAX_SELECT_XML(pThis,pSelect1,pSelect2,pSelect3,pSelect4){
if (document.getElementById('P2805_ZIPCODE').value.length == 5)
     var l_Return = null;
     var l_Select1 = $x(pSelect1);
     var l_Select2 = $x(pSelect2);
     var l_Select3 = $x(pSelect3);
     var l_Select4 = $x(pSelect4);
     var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=otn_Select_XML',0);
     get.add('TEMPORARY_ITEM',pThis.value);
     gReturn = get.get('XML');
     var sels = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("select");
     if(gReturn && l_Select1){
          var l_Count = sels[0].getElementsByTagName("option").length;
          l_Select1.length = 0;
          for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
               var l_Opt_Xml = sels[0].getElementsByTagName("option");
               appendToSelect(l_Select1, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
     if(gReturn && l_Select2){
          var l_Count = sels[1].getElementsByTagName("option").length;
          l_Select2.length = 0;
          for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
               var l_Opt_Xml = sels[1].getElementsByTagName("option")[i];
               appendToSelect(l_Select2, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
     if(gReturn && l_Select3){
          var l_Count = sels[2].getElementsByTagName("option").length;
          l_Select3.length = 0;
          for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
               var l_Opt_Xml = sels[2].getElementsByTagName("option")[i];
               appendToSelect(l_Select3, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
     if(gReturn && l_Select4){
          var l_Count = sels[3].getElementsByTagName("option").length;
          l_Select4.length = 0;
          for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
               var l_Opt_Xml = sels[3].getElementsByTagName("option")[i];
               appendToSelect(l_Select4, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
     get = null;
</script>
And then since all 4 items (3 select lists and 1 checkbox item) are populated based on the value inputted in the text field item, I would only need to add the following to the html form element attribute of my text field item, right?
onKeyUp="javascript:get_AJAX_SELECT_XML(this,'P2805_STATE','P2805_CITY','P2805_METRO_AREA','P2805_NEIGHBORHOOD');"Denes, thanks for the example. It seems like what I need to do is somewhere inbetween what you have and what's in the example on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:37. I have 3 select lists and 1 checkbox item that should all be populate depending on the value entered for the text item. Do I still need to split everything up then into a function and an on demand process for each select list and checkbox?

Error in posting :First create the jurisdiction code at state level ()-URGE

Hi,
We are getting ERROR "First create the jurisdiction code at state level ()" at the time of postiong . This is HST calculated on benefit that we are trying to post;;

Hi Neelima,
Tax Jurisdiction code is related mainly to US.
Please check the if tax jurisdiction code is maintained in SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings 's basic settings part. If not, maintain the same for the state. This might help you.
Best Regards,
Venkat.

City, state & zip-code DB

Hi,
Is there a free city, state and zipcode database available for US ?
Basically what I want is that I have two drop downs, 1 for state, 2 for city.
If a state is selected, cities for that state get populated from this database.
In the same way, if a zip code is entered, both the cities and state get populated from this db.
Thanks for all the help !

Not that I know of....

How do I add State/Province and Country to my drop down list?

How do I add State/Province and Country to my drop down list?

Hi Gen,
My problem is that I'm working with the free version of Form Central - I'm willing to purchase a version. Earlier in my form I have States as a drop down menu (see below) but can't copy it to make it appear later in the same document. I was trying to avoid recreating the entire form. Any tips on copying or duplicating a field inside a document.
Best Regards,

Customer master Post code and city field Issue

Hi,
I am facing a problem with the customer master, In the address tab postal code N0N 1J2 is giving a default value in the city description tab, However the defaulted value is not the correct one.
Eg. if post code 123 has to display DELHI it displays BOMBAY.
Can you suggest where can i change the defaulted value. Is there a table entry missing that should allow this city / zip code combination? Where are these settings maintained.

I am trying to change my country from South Africa to Uk. I change my address on my id. When I sign into apple store, it asks me to verify the address details. It then comes up with invalid post code. All that works is the SA post code, not any UK code

I am trying to change my country from South Afrika to UK. I went into change ID, chose UK flag, changed everything to the new address. Logged into Apple Store, then got a message to verify account. Tells me invalid post code. Will not take anything else except my SA postcode. Then Apple store reverts back to Soth Africa and not UK

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

City, State Zip-code line...

Hi...
New here... Version 8.2.3 running in SAP.
Want to format a single address line from 4 individual fields... City, State Zip-code
Want the City, seperated from the State by a comma and 1 space.... and State seperated from the Zip-code by 1 space.
Examples...
Boston, MA 07884
Fountain Valley, CA 76877
How to do this in the form Layout?
In the Object Layout tab... I set the fields to "Expand to fit" in the width direction... but the City overlays the State...
I do not want... Boston, MA 07884 to accomodate longer City names.
For now... I format the single address line in the Interface ABAP code.
Thanks,
Dave T...

Hi DaveT,
For starters you do not need to set the binding to None (Object > Binding palette). I had this in the example, because originally I didn't want the field to take part in the import XML.
When dealing with data, more often than not you really do want the objects set with a binding.
Using $record are you accessing the imported XML or a data connection? If so I would set up the data connection first and then bind the appropriate fields to that data connection.
The XFA Specification may help: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html.
Hope that helps,

"Company code not assigned to country or country to calculation procedure"

Hi ,
I'm practicing SAP on IDES at home.
I have not created any 'Calculation procedure' (TAXINN or TAXINJ) neither assigned any procedure to
country 'IN'. I have maintained tax category 'MWST' for 'IN' in OVK1 and also assigned my delivering plant
for tax determination. I have also maintained tax relevancy for master records ( OVK3 - customer & OVK4 -
material ) and also maintained condition records for MWST.
Everything is working fine while creating normal sales order including accounting document creation &
posting. But when I'm creating a purchase order ( ME21N) for 3rd party process getting the error "Company
code not assigned to country or country to calculation procedure".
Plz help me with the solution how to create calculation procedure or which procedure should I assign to country 'IN' from the list of available procedure.
( I can't take help from FI guy as I'm practicing on my own )

Hi Arveen,
Check calculation procedure using T.code OBYZ(IMG > Financial Accounting> Financial Accounting Global Settings--> Tax on Sales/Purchases --> Basic Settings -
> Assign Country to Calculation Procedure.)
Select new entries--Enter tax procedure for India TAXINN-TAx procedure INdia
Save.
Use T.code OBBG....select position...enter IN....against that assign the tax procedure created above and save.
Hope this resolves.Let me know if you still encounter problem.
Thanks

Deactive post code check in sales order

Hi all
We have one customer ,but this customer need us change ship-to-party address and postal code in sales order header().
but our system will check the country code and postal code.
How can I deactive post code check in sales order ???
thanks

Hi,
Postal code checking for country is a global setting in SAP, and many settings are depends upon it. But if you still want to change it you can modify it at country level.
Go to SPRO >> SAP Netweaver >> General Settings >> Set Countries >> Set-Country sepcific checks here select the country and modify it as you want.
but still i ll advice you to do not change these settings as it will affect as client level.
better you change Customer master address data as client wants and re enter re enter the customer code in sales order.

HOW TO: Post a SQL statement tuning request - template posting

This post is not a question, but similar to Rob van Wijk's "When your query takes too long ..." post should help to improve the quality of the requests for SQL statement tuning here on OTN.
On the OTN forum very often tuning requests about single SQL statements are posted, but the information provided is rather limited, and therefore it's not that simple to provide a meaningful advice. Instead of writing the same requests for additional information over and over again I thought I put together a post that describes how a "useful" post for such a request should look like and what information it should cover.
I've also prepared very detailed step-by-step instructions how to obtain that information on my blog, which can be used to easily gather the required information. It also covers again the details how to post the information properly here, in particular how to use the \ tag to preserve formatting and get a fixed font output:
http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2009/02/basic-sql-statement-performance.html
So again: This post here describes how a "useful" post should look like and what information it ideally covers. The blog post explains in detail how to obtain that information.
In the future, rather than requesting the same additional information and explaining how to obtain it, I'll simply refer to this HOW TO post and the corresponding blog post which describes in detail how to get that information.
*Very important:*
Use the \ tag to enclose any output that should have its formatting preserved as shown below.
So if you want to use fixed font formatting that preserves the spaces etc., do the following:
\   This preserves formatting
\And it will look like this:
   This preserves formatting
   . . .Your post should cover the following information:
1. The SQL and a short description of its purpose
2. The version of your database with 4-digits (e.g. 10.2.0.4)
3. Optimizer related parameters
4. The TIMING and AUTOTRACE output
5. The EXPLAIN PLAN output
6. The TKPROF output snippet that corresponds to your statement
7. If you're on 10g or later, the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR output
The above mentioned blog post describes in detail how to obtain that information.
Your post should have a meaningful subject, e.g. "SQL statement tuning request", and the message body should look similar to the following:
*-- Start of template body --*

I'm sure that if you follow these instructions and obtain the information described, post them using a proper formatting (don't forget about the \ tag) you'll receive meaningful advice very soon.
So, just to make sure you didn't miss this point:Use proper formatting!
If you think I missed something important in this sample post let me know so that I can improve it.

can't reproduce, does it still look unformatted? Or are you simply kidding? :-)

PS: Just noticed that it actually sometimes doesn't show the proper formatting although the code tags are there. Changing to the \ tag helped in this case, but it seems to be odd.

Error - Company code not assigned to country or country to calculation proc

Hi All,
We are on ECC 6.0 instance.
While trying to post a JE, I am getting the error message "Company code not assigned to country or country to calculation procedure". I am able to post the JE for a another company code. It seems we are missing some configuration for the company code error is coming up.
Any ideas what is causing the errors. More details about the error are below:
Company code not assigned to country or country to calculation procedure
Message no. FF703
Diagnosis
An error occurred when checking the tax code. Either the assignment of company code and country or of country and calculation procedure is not correct.
Procedure
Check the system settings.
To do this, choose Maintain entries (F5).
If the program error occurred
In a standard SAP program, then create an OSS message
In a program you wrote yourself, then correct the program.

Hi,
You need to assign the tax procedure to company code.
Try transaction OBBG. and check whether the proper tax setting are maintained or not
You probably need to make other tax settings so you should check out
the menu Financial accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Taxes on
Sales/Purchases in the IMG.
Hope it will work.
With Best Regards,
Navneet Chaubey
