The addresses used in SAP applications are primarily stored in the tables of the Business Address Services (BAS). Addresses are identified by an internal number, assigned by the SAP number assignment.

The same number range is used for the Business Address Services tables from Release 4.0 (ADRC, ADRP, etc.) as for addresses in the tables SADR/SADRP in previous releases.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

Number ranges "01" and "10" are delivered. Number range "10" is needed for some areas in SD and must not be changed.

Recommendation

You can change the number range "01" if required, but see the note under "Further notes".

You may not change the characteristic of the number range interval "01" to "external number assignment. The system does not support external number assignment for addresses.

Activities

To change the number range for Business Address Services, proceed as follows:

  1. Call the number range maintenance transaction by choosing "Execute".
  2. Choose Change interval.
  3. Maintain the interval values (from number, to number) for the number range "01".
    (number range "10" must not be changed)
  4. Save the entries.

Further notes

The following notes were valid until Release 4.5; from Release 4.6 the changed transport methods should resolve the problems mentioned. The organizational measures for separating number ranges are only needed for transports between 4.6 and 4.5 systems.

If you work in several systems or clients and want to transport address data - for instance with the organizational units in Customizing - note that inconsistencies can occur when transporting addresses:

Problem

The key for the address file is an internal number which is assigned sequentially per system and client. Problems can occur if the same number was assigned in the source system and in the target system for two different addresses. The address from the source system is then not inserted in the address file in the target system; the existing address in the target system (with the same internal number) is "changed", that is, it is overwritten with the data of the transported address and is no longer available.

Solution

See OSS note 25182.
