Auto-Fill City & State when Zip is entered

Kinetic ERP

Hello,

Is there a standard way to get the City and State fields to auto-populate when you enter the zip? For example, if you were creating a new customer, or doing a one-time ship-to on a sales order…

Thanks,
Nolan

I’m assuming you have some kind of matrix to translate the ZIP to the City/State already as there is nothing build into Epicor to correspond to ZIP a particular City/State.

Not currently…I was hoping that there was something standard in Epicor that could help here.

No, you’d need a customization that’d take the entered zip and reference some kind of data source to translate the ZIP to a City & State.

Tax Connect, addon module, does do address verification (which is very helpful for ship-to tax verifications) but AFAIK doesn’t have a feature you’re asking for.

Quick Ship (Manifest) may have something like this I’m not familiar enough with it as I don’t have that module. I suspect since it’s a manifesting module it doesn’t.

I’m pretty sure you can use the Google Maps API for this.
If the calls are minimal I believe it’s free to use.

I’ve used this database in the past for a similar project: US Zip Codes Database | Simplemaps.com

Just a warning – different cities can share the same Zip Code. It’s rare, but it does happen. I grew up in a town that didn’t have a Post Office, and we shared a Zip Code with the neighboring town. Our mail got messed up all the time, probably due to people trying stuff like this with software… :rofl:
