Automatic Entry of Address Type 

Use

If you specify a recipient in the SAP system, you normally have to assign the recipient type as well. This assignment can be entered automatically.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the field Recipient, enter the recipient name. A generic entry with * as the joker for a character string is permitted.

       2.      Choose  .

The system searches for the recipient name.

       3.      If several recipients were found that correspond to the specified recipient name, these are listed. In this case, select the required recipient from the list by double-clicking on it.

Result

The recipient type is entered by the system in the field Recipient type.

However, note that the search for the recipient type is terminated as soon as one or more recipients are found within a recipient type. The search is performed in the following order:

·         Address name

·         User name

·         External address

·         Private distribution list

·         Shared distribution list

·         Other recipient types, the recipient addresses of which are recognized by their unique form (for example, Internet addresses with the symbol @).

If you have created a recipient list with the name Becker, for example, and this name also appears under the user names or the address names, the distribution list will not be found and, consequently, the recipient type Distribution list not listed. In this case, you have to specify the recipient type yourself.
