Bulk delivery address code.
It can be any value set by bank themselves.
Bank can use any value to group the cards that will be delivered to a specific address. This value is the bulk_delv_add_code.
So if a card has bulk_delv_add_code = 10505, then this code is used to identify the delivery address inside <BULK_DEL> tag in perso file xml.
Example :
If a client creates a batch of 5 cards and need to deliver to a single address.
Then bank can agree a value for bulk_delv_add_code other than 0 and put same delivery address for all cards. This will deliver cards to single address in bulk inside <BULK_DEL> tag in perso file xml.
Note: If client need to send 5 cards to AddressX and 6 cards to AddressY, then client need to set different bulk_delv_add_code for two batch of cards.
Like for 5 cards set bulk_delv_add_code = X and for 6 cards set bulk_delv_add_code = Y. This will distinguish separate bulk delivery address for different sets of cards.
If client sets bulk_delv_add_code same for 5 cards but different delivery address for each card, then all cards will be delivered to delivery address of first created card.
If a client creates a card and need to deliver to a specific single address.
Then client can input either card holder address/details or purchaser address/ details based on pur_cust_type field. At this point client can put bulk_delv_add_code = 0 or empty/null so that it determines the card is for single delivery and address/details are populated inside <RECORD>==><CH_ADDR> tag in perso file xml
pur_cust_type
- 0 => Card will be delivered to card holder address
- 1 => Card will be delivered to purchaser address
