[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 369657, member: 14596"] ok, this scares me. Not really meaning to pick on you IDoLess, this is a practice I see all over and I just don't understand it. MarePare - IDo is likely correct, what you are seeing is likely not an automated data flip by the system, but a data correction, performed by a data OMS (or an hourly like in IDLWTM' case that is weird by the way) or by a DataAqcuisition hourly or DA as Mike does. The system as algorithms it uses to flip to an address that is close but not a dead on match to a valid address in the data base. For example, say the customer sends a package to 1500 Vine Street. The system looks, sees there is no exact match, but finds a 1500 EAST Vine St in the data base. If there is no corresponding valid range on West Vine in that same zip, it will assume the customer meant E. vine, and flip to that. Similarly it might flip a Robert road to Robin, if Robert does not exist. But it will not flip a HWY to an Outer Ct (unless there is a street alias set up, but that is another discussion) or similar flips where there are no letters or phonetics in common. Flips like you describe are most likely caused by someone correcting the address sent with the package. It is possible that these are correct flips, in that the person may have moved, and the PAL has the correct address, or that the person shipping just sent it to the wrong address. They should be pulled from the car and brought to the attention of your preload sup though, as there is no way to know, and if they are wrong addresses, they should be processed as an address correction.
