Address number deletion problem

[Former Member]

Dear All,

When an address is deleted on BP master data, address number on Sales Document is changes. I need the previous address number.

For exp.

1001 BP Number

BP has 3 address, address numbers are 11111,22222,33333

I create a sales doc, set 1001 as sold to party, and select 33333 address. When i check CRMV_LINKPARTNER table, i am able to display 33333 is used at this sales doc.

Then i delete the 33333 from BP master data.

33333 (address group = BP ) is deleted and a new address 33355 (address group = CRM1) is generated by automatically

When i check CRMV_LINKPARTNER table again, 33355 is set instead of 33333.

I need previous address number - 33333. Is there anyone who face that requirement before?

Regards

Sadi

Hi Sadi,

This is standard behavior. Kindly check the following OSS note for more details:

830239 - Deletion of master data addresses used in CRM documents

You can set parameter CHECK_ADDR_USE value to space in SMOFPARSFA in order to prevent address deletion if it is still used... but I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to retrieve the original address number once it has been deleted (did you check the change documents though?).

Best regards,

Nicolas.

You may check this out about CAM.

I do not think you will be able to change 33355 to 33333 as this number should be handled internally like GUID.

In case you are working on development, you can get the address by
