This section describes two common scenarios an Authority Address Custodian can encounter when adding Organisation Names.
6.4.3.1 Scenario 1
If the BLPU is described by an LPI which has a building number and / or name, the Organisation Name must only be entered into the ORGANISATION Name Field.

ORGANISATION
“Thomas Cook”
BLPU Classification

Scenario 2
If the BLPU is described by an LPI which has no building number or name, the Authority Address Custodian must apply the following rules:
- The Organisation Name must be added into the PAO_TEXT or SAO_TEXT Field in the LPI Record.
- The Organisation Name must be added into the ORGANISATION Name Field in the BLPU Record.
- Both the PAO_TEXT or SAO_TEXT Field and ORGANISATION must contain the same name.
- Consideration should be given to ensure that the SNN Officer numbers these properties.

6.4.3.3
For a list of the most frequently used Organisation Names, see the GeoPlace authority contacts group forum thread relating to the Organisation Name list. To join the GeoPlace authority contacts group, see https://khub.net. The list must be referred to each time a new Organisation Name is added to the LLPG to provide consistency.
6.4.3.4
The list currently contains Organisation Names which should have the following tertiary BLPU Classification codes:
- “CI03”, “CR01”, “CR02”, “CR05”, “CR07”, “CR08”, “CR09”, “CR10” and “CR11”.
This list will be extended to include more nationally recognised Organisation Names, excluding any local names. The BLPU Classification code must be assigned to the BLPU as the Organisation Name function and fascia name dictates.
6.4.3.5
If the Organisation Name is local or does not appear on this list, the name must be captured from what is on the fascia of the property. If punctuation and abbreviations are part of the business name on the fascia, then they are allowed in ORGANISATION in the BLPU Record. They are also allowed in the PAO / SAO text Fields in the LPI Record if there is an identical entry in ORGANISATION.
6.4.3.6
When an organisation vacates a BLPU, the names of landlords, receivers, administrators and liquidators should not be entered into the ORGANISATION Field or the PAO Field in its place. The ORGANISATION Field should continue to contain the information on the property’s fascia until the fascia is removed or changed. If there is no fascia upon or after vacation, the data in the ORGANISATION Field should be removed.
