SAP Note 384462 - Master data and addresses

Component : Business Partners -

Summary :
SAP Note addresses issues with ALE distribution of address data for customers, vendors, and contact persons. It explains that standard batch input programs and ALE messaging do not support all address fields. From Release 4.5, Business Address Services (BAS) have been implemented for standardized address management, allowing more address information storage than previously. The note advises using serialization groups for synchronized transmission of master and address data and highlights necessary customization settings in ALE. Separate processes for address data import are required if using standard batch programs, which do not match BAS fields length, necessitating adjustment for new address fields transfer.
