For business partners that belong to the category 'natural persons' the name components are stored in several different fields.
Country-specific rules can be applied to format the name components. If you do not state any specific rule, the standard setting applies.
Example
The name format
DE 01 1 TITLE (Title)
DE 01 2 NAME_FIRST (First name)
DE 01 3 PREFIX1 (Prefix)
DE 01 4 NAME_LAST (Last name)
uses the following fields
Title: Mr.
First name: Rene
Prefix: van de
Last name: Kerkhoff
to create the name "Rene van de Kerkhoff".
According to this rule the full name "Mr. Rene van de Kerkhoff" is used when printing addresses.
For this reason the title (TITLE) would normally be position 1. When the complete name appears, the title (TITLE) is specifically omitted.
One and the same rule (DE 01 in this case) is therefore used for the composition of a name with a title and without a title.
Requirements
Standard settings
The SAP standard setting contains several examples of name formats.
