Automatic Entry of Address TypeLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

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. Enter the name of the recipient in the Recipient field. You can use generic entry with * as the wildcard for a character string.

  2. Choose .

    The system searches for the recipient name.

  3. If several recipients were found that correspond to the specified recipient name, they are listed. In this case, double-click the required recipient in the list to select it.

Results

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

Note

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, recipient type Distribution list is not listed. In this case, you have to specify the recipient type yourself.
