Enabling multiple BAdi Calls

Question

Hello there,
i'm relatively new to ABAP and SAP R/3. I use SAP CRM 5.0, and implemented an
address check for the transaction BP (for creation of business partners) via
the BAdi "address_check". Now I'd like to know why a BAdi is only called
once after an input or modification of data on a form and how can it be
activated that a BAdi can be called multiple times without modifying the data
on the form?
Thank you very much in advance,
Greetings, Paul

Hello Paul
I cannot give you a precise answer since I do not have access to an CRM 5.0 system. Given the name of the BAdI (ADDRESS_CHECK) I except the BAdI to be executed in two situations:
(1) Assuming we have a "CHECK" button in the "Create business partner" transaction available the BAdI should be be triggered when pushing this function.
(2) The BAdI should be triggered when the button SAVE is pushed because this is definitely the last change where an address check would make sense (e.g. prevent saving the business partner due to failed conditions in the address check).
Usually the naming of the BAdI methods allows a "best guessing" about when the methods are executed.
