 Distribution Type and Communication Type

Communication Type and Recipient’s Address

The communication type from central address management (CAM) determines how the information is sent to a recipient. You can maintain communication types for internal users, external companies, and for external contact people. A standard address is entered for each communication type. This address is copied when you send the documents.

The addresses that are needed for SAPoffice to function correctly are stored and maintained in address management.

  • Address data for internal distribution

    Addresses in address management within SAPoffice (internal SAP user)

  • Address data for external distribution

    Addresses such as mail recipients outside SAPoffice (for example, Internet addresses)

You should maintain the communication types via which you can reach the recipient in the address data for each recipient

Distribution Type and Communication Type

The Distribution Types for document distribution are defined using the CAM communication types as a basis. These communication types are enhanced by additional functions to form the distribution types used for document distribution.
