Documentation
Definition
The country for the telephone number or fax number is maintained here.
This specification is used to determine the correct country code. A normalized form of the telephone number or fax number is then derived and stored in a field for a program-driven search.
In most cases, the telephone number or fax number refers directly to an address.
If this is the case, when a new number is created, the country of the address is proposed.
If this is not the case (for example, with address-independent communication data for a business partner), the country from the user parameter LND is proposed (if it is maintained). If the user parameter LND is not maintained, the country of the company address assigned in the user master data is proposed.
Notes
If the country of the address changes, the country of the corresponding telephone number and fax address is not changed automatically.
Example: A business partner moves abroad.
If the telephone number is for a permanent connection, the telephone number also changes when the business partner moves and has to be maintained again in the system.
If the telephone number is for a mobile telephone and the number is retained, the original country for this telephone number also has to be retained and must not be changed automatically to the new country of the address.
