Object documentationCity

 

Town or community according to the postal divisions. It can, but does not have to, correspond to the political-administrative divisions.

 

If the address check against the postal regional structure is activated, the system checks whether the city specified in the address entry exists.

Data such as region, transport zone, and application and customer-specific data can be assigned to the city. This data can be accessed in programs for data objects that have an address.

The City object can be accessed in the following transactions:

  • SR10 - Create city

  • SR11 - Change city

  • SR12 - Display city

Structure

The key of a city contains the country as well as the city number. The keys are then still unique even if the cities are created for different countries by importing data carriers with external number assignment. City names and short descriptions are maintained language-dependently.

An important field for the city is the "Street Directory". (Indicator: A street directory exists for this city). Streets are only checked in the address check for this city if this indicator is selected. The indicator is selected by default.

Cities have three 'subobjects': Postal codes, Districts, and PO Boxes.

  • The postal codes that are permitted in the relevant city are stored under Postal Codes. The system checks whether postal codes are permitted in the address check. To facilitate maintenance, you can also create postal codes here. To do this, enter the postal code and choose the "Create Postal Code" pushbutton. The system then goes to the transaction for creating postal codes.

  • The districts within the city are created under Districts. District numbers are assigned externally. If a district postal code is unique, it can be stored here. The postal code must first have been created for the city, as described above.

  • PO Boxes is the assignment of PO Box numbers to postal codes. The postal code must first have been created for the city, as described above. P.O. Boxes with the same postal code are normally in a post office in a P.O. Box rack.
