Quirk in AddressAccelerator - any one else noticed?

JoAnn Strommen

A duplicate record for this company was created today in processing a registration. So when comparison viewing in web view I noticed +4 on zip was different. I went to db view and ran Validate with AddressAccelerator. It is pulling two different +4 for the same addresses!

Any ideas?

@JoAnn Strommen just to confirm, you're saying that you manually initiated AddressAcclerator on each record, and are getting a different +4? I would remove the +4 and run each of them again out of curiosity.

I would report it to Data Enrichment Services. It isn't a problem with the data set, if the addresses match exactly, but I've seen a few weird things like that in the past. The one that sticks out is that Macomb County would come back as Mac0mb (a zero instead of the letter o).

@Karen Diener Yes, deleted zip +4 multiple times. Kept auto filling with different +4.

I did merge the two records yesterday but left both addresses on the merged record. Today I deleted zip and it finally auto fills to the same number. It's supposedly 0542! LOL

I've run into this outside of address accelerator as well. In RE and BEM, with my own home address, there are two options presented. Everything is the same but the +4. It's not just my address, but that did make me tilt my head a bit when it happened.
