<we need to fill these in when we have completed the first-time updates, we deferred decision on the steps today to when we have done partial cleaning and know how much is left. booked to do with Pagasa on Monday. Ttenbergen 16:50, 2014 October 2 (CDT)> {{discussion}}
* if the patient has '''[[Province]] = Manitoba or CF''' :
*# check the postal code in EPR, correct if different than ours
*# if same as ours, check the address in EPR against [https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf Canada Post Postal Codes];
*#* update patient's postal code if it was wrong '''or'''
*#* make [[#update to Postal_Code_Master table]] if postal code was correct and just not in our list
* if the patient is from '''any other province''':
** if the Postal Code's '''first letter''' is not for the province where the patient lives you need to check EPR or internet to put the correct Postal code
** If the first letter is appropriate for province but triggers because it's not in the master list, then register the D_ID with [[Known data errors]] with query name "NDC_Bad_Postal_Code"
* if the patient has '''Province = (US or NK or OS)''' there should be no postal code so query should not trigger at all


=== updating the codes ===
=== update to [[Postal_Code_Master table]] ===
Codes are stored in table ''Postal_Code_Master''. Codes can be manually added to or imported into this table when a new master set becomes available.  
''see [[Postal_Code_Master table#Maintenance and Validation of Master table]] for other update processes we have for [[Postal_Code_Master table]]''  
# Open [[Postal_Code_Master table]]
# update/add code
#* you only need to fill in the fields '''PCode, rhaname, RHA_Acronym and town''', we will eliminate the other fields.
