I posted this on the niug list, but this seems like a more focused place to put this question. I know there is probably the same group of people here, but it seems I never get too many responses on the niug list when it comes to questions about ibo.
I’m working on my new address and change address web screens and am going to use Accumail’s web toolkit to standardize the address and return the DPB and full barcode.
However, iBO doesn’t expose the DPB field in the Address object and the barcode field is set to read only since it builds based on the Zip code and DPB fields.
Has anyone else run into this and if so, what did you use as a work around?
I have thought about, just doing a batch update each night to the barcode and DPB fields through SQL but wanted to bounce this around to see if there was a cleaner way that I’m missing.
Thanks

IBO and Accumail
You can use IBO to create/update the address and get the address number. Once you get the address number, you can use straight SQL to update DPB field base on the info pass by Accumail object.
