A Match Code of 2 or greater means a reliable address was not returned by Allocator. This occurs if the addresses in your ASCII file are invalid or incomplete. It also may occur if your ASCII file is not formatted correctly.
The Match Exceptions report lists all such addresses. This report lists the policy number, source address, matched address, jurisdiction assigned to, jurisdiction code, county, city, match code/description, match identifier, number of candidates, source premiums and four miscellaneous columns. You can use this report to identify poor addresses that need to be corrected, geocoded and re-allocated. (See Correcting Addresses.)

An “X” will appear in this column if the source address contains incomplete data (missing street, city, or zip code).
