Validating an Address

You can validate an address when creating a business partner, customer, or vendor so that address data entered into your system is valid.

  1. Create a new business partner, customer, or vendor.
    • To create a new business partner, enter the transaction code /NBP.
    • To create a new customer, enter the transaction code /NXD01.
    • To create a new vender, enter the transaction code /NXK01.
  2. Enter the address.
  3. Press the F8 key or click the check icon.
  4. If the address you entered needs to be corrected, the Address Changed window appears, listing the corrected version of the address. If the address you entered matched multiple candidate addresses, the Address Search window appears, listing the candidate addresses.
    • Click Accept Changes to save the corrected version of the address to the record. If there are multiple addresses listed, select the address you want to use before clicking Accept Changes.
    • Click Accept Current to keep the address as you entered it.
    • Click the Advanced button to access the Advanced Search window. For more information on the Advanced Search window refer to Validating Address Components. This option will be available only if the Simple/Advanced Search option is enabled, and the address entered does not produce a unique result.
    • Click the red "X" to cancel the validation.
    In addition to address validation, you may see the following information returned with the address:
    • If you have licensed the Enterprise Tax Module and the Tax Jurisdiction Code is required, the Tax Jurisdiction Code is returned with the address.
      Note: For S/4HANA 1610 and S/4 HANA 1709, the Tax Jurisdiction value does not populate in the field though Spectrum Technology Platform returns it in the pop up.
    • If you have licensed the Enterprise Geocoding Module, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the address will be returned.
    Note: When only the Postal Code, Country, and Region fields are populated, the address list does not show any candidate records in the simple tab and an error message is displayed.
