Updating Address changes

Hi all,
Iam developing a new transaction where an user can change delivery even after GI has peen posted(std.SAP doesn't allow this).
In this , when an user wants to update address of the partners i do not want t change master data.
i want to create a new adr. number and store the address in that for the particular KUNNR.
any ideas on how to do this..
Thanks...

Sanjay is right. I was about to say the same thing. Why didn't they consider reversing the PGI, make the changes and then redo the PGI. Or even better, why don't you do it in your custom transaction like this. The end user doesn't to know about it. Only that they will see additional documents in the document flow.
I am still wondering how anyone agreed to this. Are you not under any strict auditing regime? This way of direct database table updates is the very first thing that ticks off the auditors. It raises a very big red flag with them.
Even if you are using it in a limited sense, using just SD, are you sure you have these changes under control? Where does the transactions stop in SAP. Do they go to SD billing and stop there or do they go further to FI? Are you sure changing the address does not impact business? What if some of those changes require redetermining transportation routing ir new payment terms or freight charges, or changes to the delivery time, now that the address is in Hawaii instead of Halifax?
Even the packing/unpacking, how are doing this? Are you not facing any issues with the inventory? Are you not having issues with your packing material? This must a lot complicated transaction than the VL02N itself. What controls do you have in place that it wont be misused or mishandled by a user?
Even if someone did it this way does not mean that we should support it. See if your client sees the validity of this argument and try to do what Sanjay has said.
I don't think there is any realistic solution to it if you still have to do it this way.

Smpatch, downloads do they still work have update addresses changed?

Updating a vendor table when address changes in infotype 6

hello all,
when an employee changes his personal information in the PZ02 service, it updates the infotype 6, as soon as the update is done it has to update the LFA1 or LFB! vendor table.
is there a workaround for this
BR
venu

thanks for the reply.
whenever there is an address change in IT6 it should update the vendor table(for eg: if changes are done in PA30 and not from ess, so its kind of generic version that i have to create to update the vendor table either from ess or PA30).
i am already using the HR_ESS_ADDRESSDETAIL and HR_ESS_ADDRESSLIST for changing the fields on the iview.
(t77www_sc)and linking it to pz02.so what u mean is i can go ahead and write the code in the same module for updates.
is this is the only way to do it, or we can do it by BAPI_address_change.
I am trying to know all the different ways it can be done.
a)can i use a BAPI if so which one?
b) can i do it thru workflow.
c)or user exit.
Please help me out with details
thanks

Cannot update apps because of address change

I dropped my mobileme account and haven't had a problem until I tried to download some updates on apps. On my phone I get the message that my account has changed. Duh. Then I get the message: Tap continue and sign in to view billing info. I do this and approve the billing info (which comes on the new email address) and then try to install the download. But again and again I get the same message "Tap continue and sign in..." I am at a loss as to how to get my phone to adapt to my computer address change. Do I need to eliminate the apps and start over or what?

No, you need to go back to your original account. iPhone apps (even free ones) are DRM-protected and linked to the iTunes Store account used to download them. Your AppleID is your account name. It doesn't matter if it's not a valid email address (even though Apple recommends using your email address when you set up an account, a bad idea in my opinion).
So, go back to using your mobileme account name (your AppleID), but so you get the receipts, etc., just change the email address associated with that AppleID to your current address. Do that here:

"How are local and state taxes setup/updated when employee's address change

Hi All
I wanted to know "How are local and state taxes setup/updated when employee's address changes . - How is it done in SAP? -
Thanks in Advance

This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

Ship-to address changes on customer master not updating orders

We have recently noticed that ship-to address changes on the customer master made with XD02 no longer show up on existing standard orders. Similar changes to the sold-to addresses do show up but no tthe ship-to addresses. Does anyone know how we can resolve this problem?

hi jeff,
the adresses of a partner is
- with reference to the master-data ( if unchanges in the Order )
- of copied in the order and then changed and saved onlyy for the order.
in the first case, a change of the main data will effect a change in the order.
in the second case, the change of the main data will not change the order, data - they are separate.
you can see this in se16 / table vbpa.
look at the adressnumber.
Adressnumbers of 9++++ are of the 2nd - manual type.
I guess, in the ship to partner, there is done a manual change in the order.
in solt to data normally you don't need such a change. therfor the sold-to partner will get the changes of masterdata -- the ship to partner has manual adress of the orden.

Update address-independent telehpone of BP

Hi all,
We need to change address-independent telephone numbers of business partner.
When such record already exists (telephone numbers are maintained), this can be done using function module 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE' with TELEFONDATANONADDRESS.
However, when address-independent telephone record does not exist (all telephone numbers are empty) - BAPI return warning 'BAPIADTEL was not found' and BP is not updated.
We have found out that address-dependent data is updated with two separate functions: 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD' and 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE', but we have not been able to find out similar ADD function for address-independent records.
Does anyone know how to update address-independent records (telephone, in this case) via ADD method?

Hi Ujwal,
I dont have a ready code right now.
Firstly, the module BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL can be used to get all the details of the address independent communications.
Later for delete:
BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE : For example say telephone data has to be filled.
The corrsponding cons number has to be filled in 'IT_ADTEL_ADDR_IND' and the corresponding flag set in IT_ADTEL_ADDR_IND_X and also the update flag should be set to 'D'. In this way the telephone number can be deleted.
For restricitng the validity, the corresponding valid from and valid to fields can be updated accordingly in the same way.

How to create integration event when Contact's address changed?

I want to create an integration event and send contact's address to an external system whenever a Contact record type is modified. The problem is contact's address is not on the track changes list so I can't select it. I talked to Customer Care and they said you can't do this currently.
This is important to me since we want to send updated address info whenever it's changed. I'm able to send updated contact email and phones info since they are available on the track changes list.
Does anyone know how to get around this limitation regarding contact address?
Thanks

Hi, dirty, but yes...
workaround: just configure for every change on contact(use modified date in your integration event config as the only audit field) and check in the workflow condition if the person address has changed...there you go.
Best Regards

Restricting the partner address change in both VA01 & VA02

Hi All,
In Sales Order Creation / Change i need to make the partner address fields editable but want a restriction on save.
For that i am doing the following:
Change:
This is possible by restricting the update comparing YVBPA & XVBPA table using parameter UPDKZ.
Create:
In the create scenario YVBPA table remains empty.Are there any other tables I should look at to restrict this address data change?
However, there is a table XVBADR , changes to which do not influence the final display address.
Alternatively , do we have an alternative approach to restrict the partner address change in both VA01 & VA02?
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
AP

Resolved by using YVBPA & XVBPA tables.

IP address changing

I made the mistake of getting BT Infinity when it became available in my area on the 28th May this year.
After many dsconnections an openreach engineer came out in mid July and spent 4 hours checking everything before realising that the initial installation hadnt done correctly in theh cabinet and that they hadnt put the new master socket on.
After more disconnections, most of which are only brief and a few more longer ones I contacted BT again and a second engineer called on the 20th August saying I had complained about a lack of speed. I told him that the speed was fine when it was connected but it dropped the connection sometimes and the main problem was that the IP address frequently changed, even if I hadnt noticed the orange ligh being on the router or it had stoped me surfing the web.
As I wanted to set up a FTP server, as I had done with previous ISPs, for family and friends to share files, I needed a stable IP address and I knew I had a dynamic address but that should stay the same unless I switch off or reboot the router. He checed everythinghe could and eve chnaged the new B home Hub 5 in case that had a fault that wasnt showing and thought that it may be a problem between the BT servers and the exchange as it showed on the schematic that BTs own diagnostic test had identified on the track a fault page as the building housing the server were outlined in red.
Needless to say it is still dropping occassionally and the IP address is constantly changing. I think it did keep the same IP for 48 hours once but usually it will change at least 3 or 4 tmes per day. Between 00.34 and 22.40 yesterday, the 22nd September, it has changed 9 times and had the orange light on the Home Hub 5 at least twice for several minutes, when I could neither send and receive emails or surf the web.
I went to check what was happening on the track a fault page and saw that even though this was an ongoing fault from the initial installation, there were two closed faults even though I was still waiting for BT support to call me back as promised last Saturday afternoon, they did call but hung up on me as soon as I had said "Hello" so I was expectin them to call back or email me.
I then sent a message using the contact us form on the BT site.
I was called this afternoon and was on the phone for the best part of 4 hours either talking to many different people at BT, waiting for them to call back or on hold, explaining over and over again that my main problem apart from the line disconnecting was the frequent changes of the IP address and if they could not provide a stable one that only changed when I switched the router off then I wanted to cancel without any penalties for early termination as there was a fault that BT could not fix.
I was told by one "technical" support guy that the IP can change every 24 hours, which I agreed that if it was set for a 24 hour lease period and I switched the router off and the lease expired before I switched it back on that it would change but that if the router was left on then it should not change while I was using it. Bearing in mind I have had this discussion many times over many months with various BT support personnel I have given them long enough and asked to be trasnferred to someone who could tell me if I could terminate my contract as BT was in breach of their contract to supply me with a stable connection.
He said he was transferring me, after 30 minutes on hold I ended up in the sales department where a very nice chap told me that he would transfer me back to technical again as they needed to put a note on my file saying what they had told me about being unable to provide a stable iP address and to then transfer me to the correct department. On hold again then explain everything agan etc etc then transfer to customer options where I was told I could cancle if I paid over £300 in fees or I could take out a business package to get a static IP.
I was also told that it was in the T and Cs that they did not have to provide me with a stable IP address. I asked him to send me an email with the part that said that and he said he will do that tomorrow and will also call me back tomorrow afternoon.
I have had a look on the T and Cs from a link on this site and using the find next box in internet explorer, there is no mention of IP or address, so I do not know where he will find the part about not having to provide a stable IP address.
I have tried to keep this as short as possible but as I have summarised and condensed 3 months worth of discussions into these few paragrpahs, it does appea to ramble on a bit, sorry.
Can anyone tell me definitively if I am correct in expecting BT to provide me with a connection that doesnt drop more times in just over the 3 months that I have been with them than in the previous 12 years I have had an internet connection with varous ISPs and aslo are they correct in stating that they do no have to provide an IP address that doesnt change even if I do not switch off or reboot the router as I am on a residentia package with a dynamic IP.
Thanks for hopefully taking the time to read through this post and for any help you can give me

Its not essentail that I have a static IP as its for personal use only not for a business but as you have stated it can take a while for the updated IP address to propogate and even if it instantly updated the new IP address I dont think anything would propogate quickly enough to be of any use when the IP can change as often as 9 times in less than 24 hours, as it did yesterday.
All I am asking for is an IP addresss that doesnt change unless I switch the router off or have a power cut. Surley that should be a simple enough thing to arrange.
I can even put up with the temporary connection drops, as long as they only last for a few minutes a few times a week and not as regularly as they are doing at the moment.
Could a mod please merge this thread with the other one in the Infinity section and place them both in the Infinity section as I would like to know if other Infinity users are having frequent I address changes and there is more chance of them seeing this thread and replying to it if it is in that section.
Thank you.

I need to stimulate a user for an ESS Address Change Process

Heres some background.. We want Hourly people to put data in Corporate Internal Site and have it execute the front end ESS process (there are only 4 processes to build). We want the salaried population to go directly to ESS and execute the same process. We want the same process and workflow for both groups to be the same as the end state.
Let me give you an example how I see this working Process = Employee fills out address change, which triggers several more processes in workflow downstream.
Normal ESS would say (For Salaried).. they log on ESS and fill out form and SAP processes execute workflow through a human flow of processes before the database does final update.
For Hourly, they go to Corporate Internal Site and fill out adobe form.   I need the outcome of that form to simulate an ESS portal process.. just as if the employee had signed on to ESS and did it online. I need the outcome of that form to load to the PORTAL front end ESS.
     That means I need you to simulate an employee logon (so security and OM routing is read for that employee). Assume that employee id is also employee password.
     And create an employee sign on.. then load an address change record, and when save is simulated.. the normal ESS process executes the workflow for the process to continue ...
Goal is both data collections work the same. . What I don't want is two processes for the same event. I don't want a front end and a back end process for ESS.
How can I do that using XI connector?

I can see how it'd be possible to copy of one user's info into another's folder by temporarily changing ownership permissions. This would get you to your "start her out with all the same...." point.
itunes/iphoto libraries would be straightforward, as you've found - sharing documents too.
It can be done - but if you'll forgive me - I'll wait a day or so in case someone posts an easy- no playing with permissions-solution that saves you a lot of hassle.
Another option is to set up a "video editing" user that you use when you want a clear desktop/no other programs loaded etc environment. You can enable fast user switching in sys prefs-accounts - so it's really no bother to change quickly; & have your various video stuff easily accessible to you - yet switch back almost instantly to a normal account with mail/safari etc all running. This may be a better idea if your editing needs loads of memory & pushes the processor to near it's limit.

EBS financial Sales Order Acknowledgement Address change

Kind of a newbie question, new to apps space with 11.5.10.2, maybe I initially posted under the wrong forum
Question on Sales Order Acknowledgement Address change
our company recently moved to a new location so needs address change below our Company logo.
Where Bill to: & Ship To: address fields are fine. Just the organization address needs to be changed below our company logo.
Was going back & forth on the Navigator -> Application Developer -> FlexField : Descriptive -> Segments {Order Management}
Looking for the rights fields to be update so it gets changed in the SO Acknowledgement when it gets published through the XML publisher I believe.
Thanks for you help in advance.

In addition to the function in the previous reply, you may use table VBPA and ADRC to get the details

Reconfiguring EBS after IP address change

Hi All,
In our EBS(12.1.3) , only IP addresses have been changed as part of a migration.
I believe I need to clean up FND_NODES and rerun autoconfig for IP change to be recorded in the table.
I also need to do changes to listener and tnsnames if they are using IP address.
I could not find any standard doc on metalink. Can somebody refer me the standard oracle's steps on reconfiguring EBS after an IP change.

How would e-mail address change affect forum?

How company recently changed e-mail addresses for all the employees. Both the format of the username and the domain changed as well. Our old address will still work for 2 years before they wipe it out, but of course they want us to start using the new address now.
Many websites, including NI discussion forums, use a person's e-mail address as the login name. When the e-mail address becomes inactive, how does that affect my interaction on the discussion forums? Obviously, I could still login using the old e-mail address. But any e-mails from the forum for things such as subscriptions to threads would no longer work. I could not find any place in my profile settings to update my e-mail address for subscription purposes. Of course, I expect it to be difficult to change the forum login name since that would be my unique identifier in the forum.
This shouldn't really cause me any problems for almost 2 years. And I'm sure I'll have to deal with it on other websites that use your e-mail address as the login name such as sites that I purchase products from.
Anyone else had similar problems with e-mail address changes? It makes me wonder, if the new e-mail address is supposed to be better, why didn't they use the new format way all along.

The profile is site wide and not specific to the forums. To change the email address associated with the user, click the MyNI link at the top of each page and then the Modify Profile link.
