Address change

Enter, delete, change bank details

You can only request changes to master data for customers and vendors via the Internet.

You do not have to know the name of the processor, since the system automatically determines it. The request is transferred to the SAP System and can be processed there with the functions of the message processing.

You can call up the individual request forms from the various SAP application (depending on the object) and from the workplace.

  1. You request a change to or a new master record using the form in the Intranet/Internet (see Processing Request Forms).
  2. When you send the request, the information is transferred to the SAP R/3 System. The system determines the responsible processor based on entries made in Customizing (see Define Own Scenarios For The Request For Change to Master Data).

  3. The processor receives the request for a master data change in his/her worklist or workflow inbox (see Task Processing).
  4. The following options are available to the processor:
    1. They may require additional information, should the request be incomplete. They attach a note to the requests and enter the person making the request as the processor.
    2. The processor rejects the request for a master data change.
    3. They approve the request and makes the necessary adjustments in the SAP R/3 System.
    4. They forward the request.

In the second decision level, the options a to d are available again.

In the last three cases, the processor can enter a text to explain the reason for his/her decision.

You can check the current state of the request at any time (see Status Query of a Request).
