Communication Data 

Definition

The entry and management of communication data for a business partner.

Use

You can enter various communication data for a business partner, for example, telephone and fax number, e-mail and other communication data, such as the pager number.

You can make one or more entries for a communication method. If you make only one entry for a communication method, this is automatically indicated as the standard entry. You can change the standard entry assignment. You can enter validity periods for all the entries.

In addition you can determine that an entry for a particular communication method should not be used. You can also enter remarks (for example, for preferred calling times).

You also have the option of determining the standard communication method, meaning that you can establish the method via which a business partner should be contacted.

Structure

A distinction is made between the following communication data.

·        Communication data that is linked to an address

You can enter this data only in connection with an address, which means that you must at least make an entry for the country of the business partner.

·        Address-independent communication data

This allows you to create communication data for a business partner without having to enter an address.
