Japanese address version (kanji) not printed on Sales order output

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have activated japanese ( Kanji ) address verion in SA09 in our system and mainatained the address data for this version in customer master . However when printing the sales order ( sender and receiver countries being Japan ) , the output still prints the defaulf address version instead of Kanji. As per help.sap , standard system supports printing ofaddress verions for japan by defualt. however this is not working.

Also, while debugginging i found out that the function module 'ADDRESS_INTO_SMARTFORM' is called from a form AD_FORM in program SAPLSTXBC. The import paramter 'IV_NATION' is not passed to this function in the form. in debugging mode, if i change the value if IV_NATION for this FM; the output isfine. Tried to find SAPnote to correct the program but could not.

Any inputs on this ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi friend,

You have mentioned that if i pass the correct value in lv_nation then you are getting the output correctly.

This itself is having the answer for your question.

Try finding out a enhancement point in the program and make that change alone.

To know how we can find the enhancement points search in data dictionary or ABAP general forum there are many posts.

If you cant find the enhancement point just copy into an Z program and then edit the nation part of code alone as required.

Just try these and let me know if you have any issues. If you have issues revert me with the issues i will help you.

Thanks,

Sri Hari.

Hi Hari,

I understand that the problem can be solved by changing the standard program SAPLSTXBC either by enhancement or by modification, but my question here is that SAP mentions that Kanji is handled by standard and no modification should be reuqired. WHy is that not working ? is there any SAP note that needs to be implemted ?

Further, there is no enhancement point to enhance the report at the point where ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM is called.

Also, We use a custom samrtform and there is a address node in it to print the address. As per satndard Smartform framework, printing of address node calls program SAPLSTXBC . I do not understand how could copying the program to a z one help here.

Any other suggestion `?
