Address (Infotype 1028) 

Definition

Infotype that enables you to store address data for companies, external participants and so on, or location-specific information for organizational units and resources.

Use

In Organizational Management, you maintain this infotype for:

·        Organizational units

·        Work centers

·        Positions

This data is used purely for information purposes. The infotype is optional.

In Training Management, you maintain the infotype for:

·        Course locations

·        Resources of the type room

·        External participants and trainers

·        Companies

The Address infotype is used in correspondence when notifications such as participation confirmation or registration confirmation are issued. You can determine whether a permanent or a temporary address is used by setting variables in Correspondence.

You must create this infotype for companies, external participants, and trainers (object type External Person).

Structure

You maintain the following location-specific information for rooms in the Address infotype:

·        Name of building

·        Room number

You create building addresses separately. Before you can maintain building addresses with location-specific information for rooms, you must first work your way through the Set Up Building Addresses IMG activity in Current Settings or in Customizing for Training Management.

You can also enter the following address information:

·        Telephone

·        Fax number

·        Address supplement

·        House number, street

·        Postal code, city

·        Country key

·        Region

·        Distance in kilometers

Since this infotype can be subdivided into subtypes, you can store more than one address. The following subtypes have already been set up in the SAP R/3 Standard System:

·         Subtype Blank: Permanent Address

·         Subtype 0001: Temporary Address
