1. Location Addresses” or “Locations” – Terminology and challenges in visibility of data from both angles Java and Web-Form


2. No easy way to see table used in Web-Form


3. No easy way to see total number of records in Web-Form


4. Locations are not consistently visible across Java and Web Forms. We are not sure what it depends on. Possibly I can see in Web form only those that have been entered in Web-Form. In Java I can see all. Possible strategy is to enter what you can in Web-Form, especially locations, organizations


5. Locations in Java and 11I are called Addresses in Web-Form of 12


6. Business Group Needs Location (HR_Location)


7. Address Validation (HR Address Format and Validation Changes in 12.1.3 & one of patch - Patch 9871990)


8. Data entry through Java form or Web-form?


9. Address default United States – will cause validation (if site profile option is set for HR purpose).
