Inserting Addresses 

Use

In many applications, addresses are administered using Central Address Administration. Depending on how the address is used, the application uses a particular address type. The addresses are stored in the database tables of the central address administration and identified by the application via a number.

You use the address node to insert an address into the mail form. This guarantees that the address is formatted according to the postal rules of the sender country.

Prerequisites

Your application must administer addresses using the central address administration. Otherwise you must use the text node to insert your addresses.

Procedure

...

       1.      To create an address node, call the context menu for that node in the hierarchy that is to contain the address and choose Create ® Address.

       2.      Enter a unique name for the node and a description (for example, customer address).

       3.      Specify the usage of the address node. This usage could for example be the:

-         Recipient's address (address of the business partner who is to receive the mail)

-         Sender's address

       4.      In the box Address specifications you can maintain other attributes to specify how you want to display the address:

       5.      Use the field Output starts with paragraph to set the paragraph format of the style that you want to use to display the address.

-         If the number of lines you specify in the field Number of lines to be used is smaller than the number of lines required to display the address, the central address administration suppresses lines of the address.

-         As default, the system uses as sender country the country that was specified when creating the address.

       6.      You can use the parameter Sender country to overwrite this setting.

       7.      For addresses that have a P.O. box as well as a street address, use the other fields in the box to determine which of these addresses to display.

       8.      If desired, you can use the output options tab to maintain attributes regarding boxing and shading for the text. You position the address by including it in a window.

Result

The system displays the node (including name and description) in the tree structure.
