There is totally missing retrieve map positions functionality in person address information.

I miss a feature similar to location address:

  • Retrieve Map Positions
  • Clear Map Positions

This is the best solution I found currently

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/21r2/050_development/060_ifs_applications_business_components/150_application_services_development/#geocoding

When geocoding is enabled, you can also make use of a simple API to geocode addresses or place names into map positions, to be stored against objects. This can be used from, for example, an event action connected to a custom event.

You can use the geocoding API for your own configurations in custom events, by calling the following method:

BEGIN  
Map_Position_API.Retrieve_Map_Position(address_, lu_name_, key_ref_);
COMMIT; -- Don't forget!
END;

it means for geocoding adress you must go to “Map Position”?

Is it possible to geocode adress directly from Person=>Adress? See picture below

Geocodes are stored to map positions view.
