Correspondence roles are used to assign additional control parameters that are required for correspondence creation to a correspondence type. You can use correspondence roles to design correspondence according to the role. You can also define the address type for the determination of an address and an application form for layout and data preparation.
You need to assign correspondence roles to recipients in the contract. Since the contract is part of the respective application, you can find more information on including the correspondence role and your control parameters in the documentation of the application.
The correspondence tool evaluates the control parameters defined to link the correspondence type and correspondence role during the creation of correspondence requests . The correspondence tool saves the address number determined (see address determination ) and the application forms determined in the correspondence container. The system transfers these control parameters to the Print Workbench when it outputs correspondence.
