Source of VBPA-ADRDA

[gomatheeswaran_palaniappa]

Hi Experts,

Can you please tell how Address indicator (VBPA-ADRDA) field value is getting populated?  Is it defaulted through standard code or is there any configuration where we can say that for a partner function, take this as address indicator?  I have gone through forum posts and SAP notes but couldn't get proper input.

We have a case where one Z partner function is not picking ADRDA and resulting in incompletion log.  Incompletion log takes us to maintain address.  Though it is already maintained, it will become complete if we change something, when it prompts in the contract.  In the table VBPA-ADRDA is blank for this partner whereas for others its coming as 'D'.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

P Gomatheeswaran.

In t.code VOPA, Sales document -> partner procedures, after clicking procedure details, for the Z partner function - check the value assigned to the source field. May be this the source of the issue.

Hope you might have checked OSS Note 918436 - Partner incompleteness: Dialog appears again and again also.

Thanks a lot shiva for your inputs. Yes, I checked the note before and looking on that with tech team now.  Also we are looking on user exits.  There is a Z4 partner function in sales document header.  When we enter it manually, Z9 partner function is automatically determined.  May be there is the issue.  While determining it is not copying ADRDA field value in Z9 and that causes incompletion. 

It will be helpful, if you can tell me where to check this.  How Z9 is determined while entering Z4 in sales document header?

Could you check and confirm, if ADRNR(address number) is updated in the Customer master KNA1 ?

Yes, Karthik.  Its already available in KNA1 for my Z partner function.  Thanks for your reply.

Hi, Address number generate from SAP standard functionality and there is no special customization. For one time customer address number generate during run-time and for all other customer type SAP pickup address number which generated during customer creation i.e. ADRC table. Please check whether AD* table correctly updated for Z partner

[gomatheeswaran_palaniappa]

Thanks for your time Nilesh.  We checked the table ADRC.  Data was updated correctly there. In quality we dont find any issue for same customer, material etc.  Only in Production, we have the issue.  For a temporary solution, we just edited the address when it prompts and saved the contract.  But still looking for a permanent solution.

I would suggest check documentation for SAP Business Address Management. You might get some clue about missing address number for Z partner function. You can search SAP note for BAS that will also provide additional help.
