Use this option to enter temporary addresses for subscriptions. For example, a subscriber may ask that the newspaper be temporarily delivered to a hospital, nursing home, relative’s home, school, or vacation address. Only office pay subscribers can have temporary address changes (temporary addresses are typically mail; therefore, the subscriber needs to be office pay).
While the temporary address is in effect, circulation reporting will be based on the temporary delivery address, messages will be sent to each carrier, and the account draw will be adjusted accordingly for each route. Also, during the time a subscriber is at a temporary address, a message will be displayed to that effect. This will alert Customer Service personnel that the subscriber is at a temporary address. Business Rules determine whether a source code is required for a temporary address.
Entering a temporary address change is similar to entering a subscriber move (see Move).

Click the Temporary Address button ().
Add or find the temporary address on the Address tab. Then click OK.
Once you have added or found the temporary address, enter information about the temporary address in the fields described in the table below. You can also enter remarks about the temporary address by clicking the Remarks button.
