Use

Correspondence roles enable:

  • The formation of correspondence to be sent, according to the correspondence role
  • Determination of the recipient address type, by using the correspondence role

You can also specify correspondence roles for the alternative (that is, additional) recipients in the master data.

Example

If you define a 'copy recipient' correspondence role, you can then:

  • Define an application form in Customizing for the application forms for this correspondence type and this correspondence role - one that displays fewer details but also has the word Copy printed on it, for example.
    However, you can use an application form that is valid for all roles. In this case, you can check what correspondence role was defined in the application form, as this is available in the DFKKCOH-CORR_ROLE field.
  • Define an address type for every correspondence type and correspondence role, in Customizing for the address types.
    You can now send the correspondence for the recipient of an account statement in the initial recipient role to the address defined in the initial recipient address address type. In the same way, the account statement in the secondary recipient role can be send to the address for the secondary recipient address address type.
