Introduction Starting with Basis Release 6.1, SAP introduced its Business Address Services (BAS) which is central to the SAP Central Address Management (CAM) functionality. Originally, SAP stored address information directly in master records for customers, vendors etc. However, it soon became clear that there needed to be a central method for handling addresses across the SAP platform. The SAP Address Solution Therefore, SAP came up with this new method for storing address information.

It is a flexible way to maintain address and communication information across the range of customers, vendors and business interests. Instead of storing this information directly in the customer master records, for instance, a record is created in a central address table called ADRC and the unique Address Number ADRNR is stored in the master record. SAP SmartForms – Address Node SmartForms makes it quick and easy to access the correct address information and display it properly on your SmartForms document. There are basically three simple steps that you need to take to print address information formatted according to the postal regulations of the sender country. The SmartForms Address node will do the rest for you.

• Create a Window node that will contain the printed address information • Under the Window node, create a Program Lines node and write code to abtain the correct Address Number • Create an Address node and populate it with the Address Number and specific formating options. Basic ABAP code to obtain an address number might look something like this example. * Get Sales Org Address Information SELECT SINGLE adrnr INTO z_adrnr FROM tvko 'Organizational Unit: Sales Organizations WHERE vkorg = z_hd_org-salesorg. Address Types There are three basic Address Types to choose from as shown below. Each address type requires a specific address number key. The field containing the Address number is determined dynamically using code similar to that shown above. A more detailed example is shown later in this article.

• Organization Address (Business) – Requires a single ten-digit address number • Private Address (Specific person) – Requires a person number and an address number • Workplace Address (Contact persons) – Require a person number and an address number Note: The address number field must have a valid value at the time of output. If not, the output process is terminated with a runtime error that you may not be unitelligible. Therefore, use the Address Condition in the address node to check to see if there is an address number present. This really makes it easy to access and display address information.

You can get additional information on the Address Node in SmartForms and SAP’s Central Address Management on pages 119-123 in the SAP Press book entitled by Werner Hertleif and Chistoph Wachter. Multiple Phone and Fax Numbers But what happens if there are muliple phone numbers, fax numbers or e-mail addresses associated with an address? Where are they stored and how can you access them?

You may enter the master clock’s web interface by typing in its IP address into the. With Sapling’s SMA. Company time time management transportation.

This is handled in several different tables including the ADRT table which keys off of the same Address Number. It also contains fields for PERSNUMBER, COMM_TYPE and CONSNUMBER. These fields allow multiple records of the same type to be stored. Business Address Services (BAS) The actual phone numbers are stored in the ADR2 table with flags indicating the default number. Following is a list of tables that make up the Business Address Services (BAS). ADRC Address ADRCT Address Texts ADRT Communication Data Text ADR2 Telephone Numbers ADR3 Fax Numbers ADR4 Teletex Numbers ADR5 Telex Numbers ADR6 E-mail Addresses ADR7 Remote Mail Addresses ADR8 X.400 Numbers ADR9 RFC Destinations ADR10 Printer ADR11 SSF ADR12 FTP and URL ADR13 Pager ADR14-16 Reserved Communication Method Identifying and Retrieving Specific Numbers In order to specify the purpose of each phone number you can enter an identifying text in the REMARK field such as Retail or Consumer.

In this way you can write code to pull the exact phone number when multiple phone numbers are available. Example SmartForm ABAP Code The following ABAP code is an example of how to access address information from the Central Address Management (CAM) frame work within a program node in a SmartForms document.

This makes it quick and convenient to access and print address information on SAP SmartForms and other output.

Special Note: All user addresses, external addresses and communication partner addresses (maintained with transaction SAD0) have been converted to the new central address management (Business Address Services) for Release 4.0. The transaction SAD0 is no longer supported.

User addresses and their company addresses can be maintained in the user maintenance (transaction SU01). The user address can also be changed in the SAPoffice settings. External company addresses and contact person addresses can be maintained with the transactions SOAD and SOCP respectively. These transactions are in the SAPoffice menu under Administration ->Company addresses or Administration ->Cannon Gas Miser Manual Transfer on this page. Contact person addresses.

The SAPoffice menu is under System ->Services ->Office or the transaction code SOFF. Addresses of other objects (e.g.

Organizational units such as Plant or Company code) can no longer be maintained directly, but only in the object-specific maintenance transactions (Plant addresses e.g. In the Plant maintenance in the customizing transaction OX10).

Hi All, I am trying to load Customer Master Records via RFBIDE00 in LSMW in 4.7. Customer Numbers are internally assigned. I need to load additional address data in Central Address Management. Documentation for the program RFBIDE00 says: 'A separate transfer run via the ALE interface is needed to transfer this additional address information.

This run should be before the transfer run for master data. If you use number ranges with internal number assignment when creating new customer and vendor masters, the number which is used to identify the master object in the system must be determined beforehand due to address information and master data being transferred separately. You can determine the numbers using the following BAPIs: BAPI_VENDOR_GETINTNUMBER (for the vendor master) BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER (for the customer master) BAPI_PARTNEREMPLOYEE_GETINTNUM (for the contact person)' Further documentation indicates you should use the Business Object BUS4001 method SAVEREPLICA for loading the additional address information. Has anyone actually done this? There are a couple of threads out there describing the same problem. None are marked as answered and most of the replies just quote the documentation.

What I would like to see, if anyone can provide it, is a practical example where I have a file containing customer master data (no customer numbers), the internally assigned address numbers are derived via BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, the customer master address data is loaded via BUS4001 - SAVEREPLICA, followed by the loading of the customer master data via RFBIDE00. Can this be acomplished via LSMW or SXDA? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks David Butler.
