  Check the Source Document: Identify the document from which the address was copied. You may need to review the original document to see if any changes are necessary there.
  Use the Correct Address: If you need to use a different address, ensure that you create a new address record instead of modifying the existing one.
  Review Address Data: Ensure that the address data is complete and accurate. If there are discrepancies, correct them in the source document.
