Address Checks

Use

When addresses are maintained, they are checked according to certain criteria (completeness, consistency, plausibility, and correctness) if the corresponding checks are activated. Part of the checks depends on the country specified in the address.

The checks can relate to all components of an address, as well as to the corresponding communication data. Addresses that are recognized as incorrect are not accepted by the system and cannot be stored.

Postal codes are particularly suitable for check procedures.

Some of the checks are automatically activated because they are integrated in Business Address Services (formerly: Central address management), others can be implemented with optional solutions. These can be SAP solutions, such as the SAP regional structure, or external products that can be integrated using the open BAS interface.
