Address Data (Biblioteca SAP - Gestión flexible de bienes inmuebles (RE-FX))

Address Data

Definition

The entry and administration of address data of a business partner.

Use

You can create one or more addresses for each business partner.

When you enter a gender-specific form of address (e.g. Mr., Mrs.) or change the form of address, the assignment of the gender is automatically adapted on the tab page Identification.

If you enter only one address per business partner, this is used for all activities. If you create multiple addresses, you can define when they should be used (for example, use of a certain address as the delivery address).

Based on the address usage that you have established, the automatic address determination recognizes which address is used for which business activity.

You can create several international address versions for an address. This allows you to format address, communication data and also name fields (e.g. first and last name, academic title, etc.) for all business partners in different fonts, each with its own character set.

In order to be able to use the international address versions, you have to activate them in the Customizing.

The SAP regional structure checks whether the address data (postal code, city and street) is correct.

For more information see Checks against the SAP regional structure.

Furthermore, the Business Address Services (BAS) make interfaces available for connecting postal checks of external providers.

For more information, see Postal check and Duplicate check and error-tolerant search.

Structure

If you only require one address for each business partner, you can enter the address data in the tab page Address on the maintenance screen Standard Address. This address will be used for all activities.

If you require several addresses for a business partner, you enter the standard address in the tab page Address and enter other addresses in the tab page Address Overview.

You assign the address usage in the tab page Address Overview on the maintenance screen Address Usages.

Integration

In Customizing you define the activities and address types, and establish whether several addresses may be assigned to an address type. In addition, you can assign activities to certain address types. (See IMG: SAP Customizing IMG -> Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Address Determination).

Make the settings for the dependency of the fields Title and Gender in the SAP Customizing IMG under SAP Web Application Server -> Basis-Services -> Address Management -> Maintain Title Texts.

Activate the international address versions that you require in the SAP Customizing IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basis-Services -> Address Management -> Activate International Address Versions.
