TCA multibyte Customer Addresses

We have a requirement to store addresses and customer names in local languages (including multibyte languages) in our 11i implementation.
Business in various countries will be conducted/transacted in their local language (ie order entry, invoicing, etc) by people who do not read English.
However, for some of our products, the items have to ship from a different country and in those cases we have to be able to have those addresses in English.
One proposal is to store the multibyte addresses in DFF fields and have the English translations in the standard Oracle address fields. The problem we're having with this idea is that the people in the local countries don't speak English, and won't be able to look up addresses in their local language as the DFF fields are not searchable (in the iStore for example).
Another idea is to store the multibyte address in the standard Oracle address fields, and to store the English translations in DFF fields, but then we'll have to modify the shipping/fulfilment forms to be able to access the DFF fields.
Is there a standard way to handle/store and transact business in multiple languages that will allow local users to conduct business in their local language, but then easily be able to access and transact (ie shipping labels) in English?

Welcome to the forums !
EBS 11i is capable of supporting multiple languages. The base language (usually English) is defined at install time. Other languages can be enabled at any time. Users can choose (via preferences) the language they want to interact in the EBS with. The app has the capability to store data in English and other enabled languages. Oracle provides translations for seed data - customers need to provide translations for any customer entered data.

Oracle TCA different customer address based on Purpose

Hello Everyone,
We have the following requirement:
A customer has a bill-to, ship-to addresses.
In addition to that, we need to capture additional information for the purpose 'Install At'.
But the information that we need to capture for 'Install At' purpose is different from the Ship-to or bill-to address structure.
So my question is, can we have a different address style based on the Purpose?
As per my analysis, it looks like we can only have 1 address style? Because even when i attach a different style to another country, when i select that country during customer site address creation, i still see the address style that is for the original country of installation.
Any ideas how can i achieve my requirement.
Regards,
Jay

Function module for displaying customer address changes detail

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me any code or function module which gives me customer addresses before changes or after changes customer address.
Regards,
Gaurav T.

GT,
First check acustomer in 'XD04' which has got some change doc history. See all changes in XD04 for that customer.
Then go to CDHDR table,
OBJECTCLAS = 'DEBI'.
OBJECTID = Customer Number (10 digit with 0 padding).
UDATE = Update/change date (Take from XD04).
Run the table & put the same values in CDPOS along with the CDHDR-CHANGENR & get the field wise changes in Customer with new & old values.
Try this out or else call me.

SP.

It is not possible to include customer address in the B1 aging report. You must customize the report using crystal report or microsoft reporting service.

ADRMAS IDoc for customer address

Hi,
I am trying to send the customer address information via ALE. We are using a custom message type (ZDEBMAS) to send the customer data. I am aware that additional address information can be sent using ADRMAS. However, this message type is linked to a BAPI and I am unable to trigger the IDoc. I have activated the change pointers for ADR2MAS, ADR3MAS & ADRMAS as suggested in previous posts. I have also added the BAPI in the Model view with Object type - BUS4001 and Method - SAVEREPLICA. Partner profiles have been generated as well.
Can anyone guide me as to what I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey,
I think there are two possible problems:
1. Please log in to XI system,
check in transaction IDX1,
which RFC destination is used for the system SAPR3D.
than test this RFC destination in transaction SM59.
2. Please check (via transaction WE30) that the IDOC in the ECC 6.0
have the same fields as the IDOC in 4.6C.
If they have different fields, than you must change the field "version" of channel of the 4.6c system (in the Integration builder configuration).

List of Customer Addresses

Hi,
Where can I get the list of customer addresses?
Is there any possiblity to get them in the Address format and not in Table format?
I want to get the list,print 4 to 8 addresses on one sheet, so that I can cut and use the addresses to paste on enevelpoes.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajit

Dear Ajit,
The global Table of all Address in SAP is ADRC.
All the address (Customer, Vendors, Brokers, Transporters, etc) is stored in ADRC Table.
From KNA1 Table take Customer Code & Name & Address Number - Feild ADRNR.
From ADRC Table take feild ADDRNUMBER & other address feild like street, city, etc...
The figure in ADRNR & ADDRNUMBER for each Customer would be same.
Now run vlookup in excel & linking figures of ADRNR & ADDRNUMBER. You will have a MAster List ready of Customer Address.
You can follow the same process for Vendor (LFA1) address also.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Missing City Code in Receivables Customer Address

We want to add ALKMAAR, DELFT, ZEVENBERGEN as Cities to select from while creating a customer address. Where is this List of Values coming from? Is it extendable. New eBS user, please explain if possible with your reply.
Thanks.

Hello,
Follow the following steps to search for the value set in which all the cities are listed:
1. Descriptive Flexfield Segments --> Query for Application =Receivables - Title: Address
2. Open Segment for the Context where you see your country Address Style assigned.
3. You will see the City value and a corresponding value set name attached.
4. Go to System Administrator --> Validation --> Set
5. Query for the Value you found in step 3 and see whether it is an independent value set or table. The you will be able to add the new cities you want.

If this still doesn't help then you could contact Sun to get help from Sun Professional Services. Writing a custom Convergence application is far from trivial.

Adding New Customer Address to an Existing one

Adding New Customer Address to an Existing one
Hi
We have a lot customers set up in Oracle and they only have a
ship to address and now we would like to add the bill to address
to these customers. Since there are a lot of customers I was
wondering is there is an open interface we can use to that.
Thank you
alpha

Hi Chandu,
1.In Infospoke -> General tab -> DataSouce(here infobject - 0BPARTNER).
2. Destination tab -> choose radio button(DB Table or Flat file).
3. Goto tab infoobjects -> select required fields you want to send from left to right.
4. Give the selection accordingly(here i think PATRNER). But it should be available in your datasouce(Infoobject-0BPARTNER), if you want to give selection on this. I didnt understad what you mean of <b>"hide"</b> in your previous reply. If this is not available in your infoobject(OBPARTNER), How CAN YOU GIVE SELECTION ON THIS attribute...?
5. Try to add this field in Infoobject(0BPARTNER) and populate.
6. Trnasformation tab.
Here you can see Source Structure, Target Structure and Addin implementation.
Source Structure - system will generate according to the field you selected in InfoObjects tab(You cant change it).
Target Structure - You can define your own structure if you want or you can modify the generated structure. By default system generates Target Structure same as Source structure(if you want to add any more fields you can add here, but you have to populate those fields with your own coding in BAdi), Which is Addin implementation.
