Standard Address 

Definition

Each partner may have more than one address. One of these is defined as the standard address. In the applications that use the business partner, you can use either the standard address or one of the others.

 

Use

The standard address is used automatically if no other address is given. When you create a new partner, the address you enter is defined as the standard address and is valid indefinitely.

You can see other addresses and their validity periods by using the Create button on the Address Overview tab page.

 You will also find further information under: Assigning Address Usage

If the validity period you defined in the address overview for the standard address has ended without the standard address being replaced by another address, then the last address to occupy the position retains the standard address status. In the determination of validity periods for standard addresses, the program calls for the standard address to be permanently occupied.

If, in the applications that use the SAP business partner, the address usage you selected is not valid, the standard address is used.

 

Integration

You can make Customizing settings for address usages that differ from the standard address.
