Address Mapping between OpenELIS and Bahmni / OpenMRS

The address hierarchy in Bahmni is based on the Address Hierarchy in OpenMRS. In OpenMRS, when you create the address hierarchy, you need to ensure that it follows specific order to map to correct labels in ELIS.

Refer to below mapping for ELIS fields and Address Hierarchy Fields:

Field / Label in ELIS	Field in OpenMRS
House No, Street	Address1
Village	City_Village
Gram Panchayat	Address2
Tehsil	Address3
District	County_District
State	StateProvince

If you don't see the address fields that you want to map to in the address hierarchy mapping list then update the Address Template under Locations > Manage Address Template.

Please refer to Administering Address Templates (OpenMRS Documentation) document to understand the details of the XML and the valid tags
