SAP Note 153264 - Postal code field as a required entry field

Component : Address Management / Business Address Services - Business Partners

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/153264 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note discusses changes in postal code field requirements in customer and vendor masters from Release 4.5 onward. Previously, postal codes could be set as required via Customizing, but this has been weakened, no longer making postal code generally mandatory due to variations in country-specific requirements. The solution involves setting country-specific exceptions in country table settings to designate postal codes as required for street addresses effectively from Release 4.6. It also provides correction guidelines for issues in earlier releases and specific configurations affecting the central address management system and integrated applications such as IS-U.
