Object documentationPostal Code

 

A code assigned to an address that facilitates the delivery of post. The assignment and granularity of postal codes is controlled by the national postal authorities.

 

If the address check against the postal regional structure is activated, the system checks whether the postal code entered exists and whether it can be used for the purpose specified (delivery, P.O. Box, and so on).

The Postal code object can be accessed in the following transactions:

  • SR30 - Create postal code

  • SR31 - Change postal code

  • SR32 - Display postal code

As postal codes are not internationally unique, the country must be specified when they are created. The valid use of the postal code (delivery, PO Box, ...) is also specified.
