BAS determine the formatting routine of an address based on the recipient country. To enable the system to do this, you assign a formatting routine to each country using the address layout key field in Customizing. The field accepts a three-digit numeric key. For many countries, this key has already been predefined in the standard SAP System.

There are two number ranges:

• 001 bis 899: Reserved for country routines delivered by SAP

• 900 bis 999: Reserved for customer-defined formatting routines. If such a value has been assigned to a country in Customizing and an address in which that country is used is formatted, a customer exit is called instead of the function module ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM.

For countries for which no formatting key has been maintained, the system uses a standard format that corresponds to formatting routine 010.

In the country settings, you can also maintain the vehicle country key. This key is then used as a postal code prefix for some European countries (see Country Formatting).
