Postal code length

Hi,
I got feedback form user that in Taiwan the postal code length has been changed from 3-digits to 5-digits, they are still under transition period but soon all of them will be using 5-digits postal code.
When we maintain 5 digits postal code in customer master, there is an error message appeared to change the postal code to 3-digits. I know the validation is reading the postal code setting from country-specific checks config (SPRO). But before I change the config I would like to check; does any one knows if SAP has released any patch to update the country-specific check config for postal code for country Taiwan?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Shoaib.

Hi,
You should be able to change the Postal Code length in
SAP Web AS ->General Settings ->Set Countries->Set Country specific checks.
Here you can configure the postal code length according to your requirements for Taiwan.
Thanks

ECC configuration (eg. Postal code Length..) to SRM - Vendor replication

Hello experts,
I had a small doubt.
While going thro Vendor replication errors in SLG1, I see that many errors like postal code length, geocodes not mainatained etc are repeating..
We have tried syncing the two with know tables/config many times, but something new pops up each time.
My question here is that, do we have any report/config that needs to be scheduled/done to bring in the supporting config entries from ECC to SRM.
Any help/lead would be of great help.
Thank you.

Hi Aarvi,
There is a table comparision method which you can sync up from your dev system, create a transport and move through your production systems.

Postal code must have length 05: Solution

I am trying to create a business partner in solution manager and i am getting the message "Postal code must have length 05". Can anyone please help

Hi,
Postal code & PO Box are linked and postal code is dependent on PO Box and this is dependent on country etc selected in the upper box
is it really necessary to maintain or are you going to print it somewhere....
see the help for PO BOX
Only enter the PO Box number in this field. The text "PO Box" is provided in the recipient language by the system when you print the address.
When you print an address, the "Street address" and the "PO Box address" are distinguished. The print program determines which of them has priority if both are maintained in an address record.

The format is 6 characters and is always
Letter,Number,Letter,Number,Letter,Number.
Can anyone help me check each character in a string to see it

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

t = st.charAt(i);
switchCheck = (i%2 != 0) ? "Even" : "Odd";
if ("Odd" == switchCheck) {
detect = isNaN(t);
} else {
detect = (isNaN(t) == false);
if (!detect) {

Vendor master data Postal code

Hi,
I am trying to create a new vendor in country Japan (JP).
Postal code settings : Length 7 Rule 2
But when I am creating a Vendor with postal code of length 7, system is automatically adding a hyphen '-' in between and throwing an error message "Postal code XXX-XXXX exceeds 7 characters. Message no. AM656".
I am not sure why is this happening so.

OSS note 1381564 - Postal codes
explains that the postal code for Japan is Postal code format for Japan is 'NNN-NNNN'.
and you have to adjust your settings in OY07
to a length of 8 for postal code
and the checking rule should be set to 9.

Wild Card Postal Codes in Transportation Zones and Postal Code Range in TCM

Hello Experts,
I have 2 queries on Postal Codes usability in SAP TM:
1. Postal Code Transportation Zones:
Business Scenario: Some countries have non-numeric Postal Codes and you can not maintain From and To Postal Code range. System supports Postal Code to be entered as Wild Card (XY1*) in Transportation Zone but does not respect them during charge calculation.
2. Postal Code Range in Rate Table:
There are standard Calculation Bases for Source/Destination Postal Code Range but these do not allow maintaining values like Source Postal Code Range (90100-90199) to Destination Postal Code Range (63100-63199). I am unable to understand the use of these 2 calculation bases since they do not accept range.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vikas Chhabra

I start with the first question: Well, well, well. Probably one of the most underestimated topics in the transportation network. A bit of a background: Postal codes are alphanumeric meaning they allow numbers and characters. Of course for some countries only numbers are required and those are pretty easy to handle. Nevertheless, SAP produces global software and there are countries having postal codes with unfixed length, character first, in the middle, at the end. This makes ranges ugly, tough, sometimes impossible.
The range definition works alphanumeric, which is a position to position comparison based on single chars. You can check the inclusion results in excel or with any database. For the zone definition this can mean that you are forced to enter postal codes and no ranges. Of course this blows up the maintenance effort in the beginning, but ensures the correctness.
I was surprised by your comment that the zone definition allows '*' because this would make this whole thing even more complicated and error prone. I tested it and it does not work, at least for Germany. I think in the address definition per country you can define valid formats for postal codes and there '*' is not valid for Germany. The transportation zone location inclusion will not work with pattern!
In case you have manages to maintain this: I would advise to take the effort and enter at least valid ranges.

Postal Code fields

Hello,
Right now I have a postal code field set up to allow a certain format. Right now it will only let the user enter letters, numbers and spaces. I want to put a restriction on the field so that the user cannot enter a space in the field. I am having problems doing this though. Below is the script I am using in the EXIT event. Please let me know if you can offer any help.
Thank you,
NikDK
if
(!(this.isNull)) {
var str = this.rawValue;
if (str.length != 6) {xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a six character postal code in the format A9A9A9 without spaces. The postal code must begin with R.");
else {
var regExp = /^([R]\d[A-Z]\d[A-Z]\d)$/i;
if (regExp.test(str)) {str
= str.toUpperCase();this.rawValue
= str.substring(0,3) + " " + str.substring(3,6);}
else {xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter the postal code in the format A9A9A9 without spaces. The postal code must begin with R.");

You can try placing the below code in Change event with java Script.
This will restrict the input to numbers and letters only.
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\A-Z\a-z]/) == null)
xfa.event.change = "";
Thanks

Thanks
Madhav

Hi
As suggested earlier, Please ensure that user's Postal code starts with the correct format as per the country. Refer OY07 Transaction for more details.
Select for country Canada (CA), go in the details.
There is a tab there for Checks.
Either you can make the changes to country specific-checks changed in SRM / ECC systems.
1) Options to make Postal code mandatory or optional entry
2) Postal code mandatory or optional entry
3) Length of Postal code
check Rule (based on country settings)
Try Making changes there and then you can avoid this error message.
Do let me know.

Customer no moving into GTS due to Postal code error.

Hi
I need your help. While pushing customer form R/3 in to GTS it's showing ZERO partner process. Then I checked in GTS in the BP logs it showed me that postal code has to contain 7 digits.
But in R/3 customer master record it's taking only 6 digits it has set up accordingly. So it's not accepting 7 digits. So what could be the setting so that I can look into it ?
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards
Sits

Hello Sits,
check in GTS customizing
IMG --> SAP NetWeaver --> General Settings --> Set Countries --> Set Country-Specific Checks.
In here are country specific checks. One of them is also length of postal code.
Check whether for the country of your customer is 7 digit required for the postal code. Then change it to 6.
Best regards,
Gabriel.
PS: To be sure your countries in GTS are aligned with the Feeder use simple "adjustment" in the Utilities to compare/change via RFC to ERP..

Automatic assignment of Partner Function (Dealer) based on Postal Code?

Hi Experts,
We are realizing a project in the Bathroom-Product Industry. Responsible for the service to the end-clients are authorized dealer. When creating a service ticket the responsible dealer has to be assigned automatically to the ticket on the basis of the postal code where the IBase (the product) is installed.
The process is:
1. The client is calling the Interaction Centre and first the IC Agent has to identify the account and the Installed Base (The installed base contains the postal code where the product of the client is installed) of this account.
2. An Interaction Record is created to record this inbound call.
3. Afterwards a Service Ticket is created as a follow-up Document of the Interaction Record. In the moment of the creation of the Service Ticket the correct dealer has to be assigned automatically to the Service Ticket (as a Partner Function not as a Service Organization) on the basis of the postal code of the installed base.
I have the following question! Which are the steps to assign automatically a Business Partner Function to a Service Ticket? We also need to create a Z-Table with the postal codes for which every dealer is responsible.
Example:
Dealer 1 is responsible for the postal codes: 08040 - 08045 and 08056 - 08059. If a client is calling and his product (Installed Base) is installed in Postal Code 08042 or 08054 the dealer 1 has to be assigned to the service ticket.
I hope I could make myself clear ;-)? Anybody can give me a hint how to do that? What are the basic steps?

Slightly similiar, originally being an R/3 customer before implementing CRM our dealer equated to sales office.
In the CRM Org model (PPOMA_CRM) in the attributes of the sales office we entered the Regions & Postal codes for that dealer (pain in the arse to do) and in CRM the sales office in the org creates a BP.
We used a org rule for the IR record based on country, region, postal code to determine the appropriate sales org, DC, div, and sales office based onthe zip code. We created a custom partner function to represent the partner number of the BP from the org model. Then we configured a custom relationship "ZORG" "Is partner of sales office" and went into the BP master and assigned the actual dealer number as a partner to BP from the org model that = sales office. From that we configured a custom access sequence to pull the actual dealer number from the org model office relationships.
We looked at territory management, but our dealer is an "org BP" and territory management appeared to want to drive to a person BP number.

Trying to set download apps...says it needs my credit card info...I put it in....but then it won't take it because it says I need to enter my zip code. I live in Canada and have a postal code, not a zip code. Help

I am trying to set up my new Iphone 4 and download apps. I made an Apple Id which is all good. But when I try and enter in my credit card info it keeps asking for my Zip code and state. I live in Canada not US. I changed the phone to Canadian but it still keeps asking for it and won't let me put in my right information which in turn won't let me download any apps. Can anyone help?

Postal & Zip codes are same. Just enter postal code without space. It will accept.

I would like to know which postal code am I supposed to enter,while installing Skype,I'm unable to do it,as it's repeatedly asking for postalcode.

I would like to know,while installing Skype in ipad2, what is the postalcode tobe entered?

Where is this request for a "postal code" appearing? When you are attempting to set up an iTunes Store account to then download the Skype app? Or when trying to set up the app after it's already been downloaded?

Clearing the the street,Postal code and city in partner tab at sales order

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement like in sales order header or Item, In partners tab, when they are selecting the particular partner function like CR and the customer number is 500, and if they press enter then automaticaly it fetches the name,street,postal code and city at the right side for that entry. My requirement is like for particular customer 700, they want to hide the customer address in that Partner tab while sales order creation VA01. If they select the partner function CR and customer 700, after pressing enter, it shouldn't fetch the automatic address of that customer. They just want the customer name and remaining fields like street,postal code,city should be blank.
Can you please let me know how to reach this requirement ate sales order creation or change level in partner function tab.
I test these exits EXIT_SAPLV09A_001 to EXIT_SAPLV09A_004 but no use. Let me know possible ways to achieve this?
Any idea on these?
Thanks in advance ,

Hi,
This is happening because you have not maintained your data in sales order.
Billing document takes the reference of order and delivery document for taking the data.
Now if you donu2019t maintain your partner function in order nor in delivery then it wont be determine in billing document.
If you want ZZ to shown in billing document then you have to make that function visible in sales order.
While creating sales order it will take it from customer master data but when you are creating billing it wont search in customer master data it will search in sales order only.
You can do one thing make that function non modifiable in partner determination procedure.
So it cant be change in sales order.
But I want to know why you want that should not be visible in sales order.
Hope so I will be correct with my explanation.
Regards
Raj.

Freight Cost based on postal code from alternative partner (occasional)

Hi SAP experts!
In standard SAP, the freight cost is calculated based on the postal code from WE partner (goods receiver).
But my client have a situation where he uses an one-time customer as a goods receiver. In this cases the freight cost is being calculated wrong, because the SAP uses the tariff zone from goods receiver (WE partner).
Does anybody know if there is a standard partner function to be used in order to consider the zipcode from the one-time customer instead ?
Does anybody knows if there is a standard solution for this issue in SAP?
Exemple:
sold to party - client X - postal code NNN
ship to party - client X - postal code NNN
goods receiver - client Y - postal code AAA
Then the freight must be calculated based on the postal code AAA.
Thanks!
