Assigning Address Usage 

Prerequisites

You have created more than one address and started the required reports. For further information on the report programs, see Steps for Deploying Time-Dependent Address Usage.

Procedure

1.       Choose the Address Overview tab page in business partner processing.

2.       In the "Address usage" area, choose an address type (for example, a business address) and choose Assign Address.

3.       Choose the appropriate address in the dialog box and enter the validity date for this address usage.

You have assigned an address to a usage for a certain period.

4.       If you have assigned more than one address to a usage, then the address that is currently valid is shown in color.

If you wish to set a different address as the standard address, select Standard Address in the Address Usage area and proceed as described above. You can also change the standard address by changing the validity period using the Change Date button.

There may be gaps between the validity periods for the address usages.

Different address usages can overlap in time. However, validity periods cannot overlap within a particular address usage.
