Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to update the international ship-to party address at time of order creation, rather than after the fact. I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 so we can avoid all the pop-ups that could potentially happen through a recording. 

I am stuck when it comes to updating the international ship-to party address. I have uploaded a copy of the existing order creation script & template in case it helps. Current process, we have 2 scripts chained together to accomplish this. HOWEVER, updating the address after the order has been saved creates inaccuracies in the confirmation email that a customer receives. 

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Hi Vanessa

Am trying to understand your request, so I have a lot of questions :)

Can you please describe what isn't working when you try to do this in one step? So that means the BAPI can update it but not in one go?

Also, are you trying to update the Ship To at the header address?

When you state it's the international address that's giving you trouble, does that mean you can update the address if it's in the same country but not if it isn't?

Does the Customer/BP Customer/Ship to have an international address setup for these locations?  I have used a BAPI to set/update these addresses, but not yet on sales orders

Thanks for any additional info you can provide :)

Hi Sigrid

Can you please describe what isn't working when you try to do this in one step? So that means the BAPI can update it but not in one go?

VK - The BAPI is unable to create the order and update the international ship-to address in one go. Or at least I have not yet figured out how to to it.

Also, are you trying to update the Ship To at the header address?

VK - Correct, ship-to address at the header level, but ONLY the international version of the address, not the standard address. 

When you state it's the international address that's giving you trouble, does that mean you can update the address if it's in the same country but not if it isn't?

VK - I have not found a way, at all, to update the international address through BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2, regardless of if the country is the same or different. 

Does the Customer/BP Customer/Ship to have an international address setup for these locations?  I have used a BAPI to set/update these addresses, but not yet on sales orders

VK - Yes, the Customer/BP Customer Ship-To already has an international address in place. 

I hope this helps clarify. 

Thank you!

Hi Vanessa

So I had a Direct script to create a sales order and changed up the partner section.  I used an IF to only overwrite the address if the name field is not blank, and I used item "0000" which in this bapi means header.  I overwrite the address for the Ship to.

Excel

Script section where I added partners - prior I had them hard coded - with the loop, IF and fields

SAP loaded this:

Note my BAPI is pointing to ECC, but I think this should work in S4, as well.  I also have a sales contract I refer to in my example, but you can ignore that.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sigrid

I added the outlined details into my script, and it works great to update the standard ship-to address, but did not update the international version.

Hi Vanessa

I guess I'm a bit confused about that.  I get on a BP/Customer record there are standard and international addresses.

On a sales order, what is the purpose of the international address?  Aren't you just overriding the default address for the ship to?  Or is there more to it? :)  

For example if I drill into the Ship to partner and choose international address and tweak it, it's what is is shown - just like in my prior example

Thanks, in advance, for enlightening me.  I can look into it a bit more tomorrow.

Hi Sigrid

For our accounts the standard address is in EN for every customer. The international address is in the local language. I've just posed your same question back to the requestor. I'm not quite sure why we can't just override the standard address on the order as it's a 1 time change. I'll let you know what their response is. My guess is it either has something to do with the order confirmation the customer receives, or invoicing. Stay tuned!

Hey Sigrid

Just as a follow up as I had mentioned I would. The international address needs to be updated at the time of order creation as that is the address that is added to the invoice as well as the order confirmation email that the customer receives. So, in the process I have already created for the end user, updating the address after the order is saved doesn't work for them as the order confirmation email has already been sent. IT is not wanting to add any sort of delays in the email confirmation side of things as it's a global process on the SAP side and so the impact would be quite large. 

So, in the end, I'll have to create a new script via a Transaction recording since the BAPI's, as currently designed, can't handle it (confirmed by my IT team).

Thank you for your help on this one!

Have a great day!

Got it, Vanessa.

Note my BAPI is pointing to ECC, but I think this should work in S4, as well.  I also have a sales contract I refer to in my example, but you can ignore that.

Hope this helps!

Subject: International Ship-To Address Change - BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Hi Sigrid

Can you please describe what isn't working when you try to do this in one step? So that means the BAPI can update it but not in one go?

VK - The BAPI is unable to create the order and update the international ship-to address in one go. Or at least I have not yet figured out how to to it.

Also, are you trying to update the Ship To at the header address?

VK - Correct, ship-to address at the header level, but ONLY the international version of the address, not the standard address. 

When you state it's the international address that's giving you trouble, does that mean you can update the address if it's in the same country but not if it isn't?

VK - I have not found a way, at all, to update the international address through BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2, regardless of if the country is the same or different. 

Does the Customer/BP Customer/Ship to have an international address setup for these locations?  I have used a BAPI to set/update these addresses, but not yet on sales orders

VK - Yes, the Customer/BP Customer Ship-To already has an international address in place. 

I hope this helps clarify. 

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to update the international ship-to party address at time of order creation, rather than after the fact. I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 so we can avoid all the pop-ups that could potentially happen through a recording. 

I am stuck when it comes to updating the international ship-to party address. I have uploaded a copy of the existing order creation script & template in case it helps. Current process, we have 2 scripts chained together to accomplish this. HOWEVER, updating the address after the order has been saved creates inaccuracies in the confirmation email that a customer receives. 

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Hi Vanessa

Thanks for getting back to me/us. Sorry to hear it won't work.

One thought - what if you put a block on the SO until you updated it?  IDK enough about the output conditions on when it sends the output, though.

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Hey Sigrid

Just as a follow up as I had mentioned I would. The international address needs to be updated at the time of order creation as that is the address that is added to the invoice as well as the order confirmation email that the customer receives. So, in the process I have already created for the end user, updating the address after the order is saved doesn't work for them as the order confirmation email has already been sent. IT is not wanting to add any sort of delays in the email confirmation side of things as it's a global process on the SAP side and so the impact would be quite large. 

So, in the end, I'll have to create a new script via a Transaction recording since the BAPI's, as currently designed, can't handle it (confirmed by my IT team).

Thank you for your help on this one!

Have a great day!

Got it, Vanessa.

I'm not sure the SO BAPI distinguishes them.  But I know the BP one does - and I have a Direct script for that. :) (created in S4 1909)

Please let me know what they say.  

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Hi Sigrid

For our accounts the standard address is in EN for every customer. The international address is in the local language. I've just posed your same question back to the requestor. I'm not quite sure why we can't just override the standard address on the order as it's a 1 time change. I'll let you know what their response is. My guess is it either has something to do with the order confirmation the customer receives, or invoicing. Stay tuned!

Hi Vanessa

I guess I'm a bit confused about that.  I get on a BP/Customer record there are standard and international addresses.

On a sales order, what is the purpose of the international address?  Aren't you just overriding the default address for the ship to?  Or is there more to it? :)  

For example if I drill into the Ship to partner and choose international address and tweak it, it's what is is shown - just like in my prior example

Thanks, in advance, for enlightening me.  I can look into it a bit more tomorrow.

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Hi Sigrid

I added the outlined details into my script, and it works great to update the standard ship-to address, but did not update the international version.

Hi Vanessa

So I had a Direct script to create a sales order and changed up the partner section.  I used an IF to only overwrite the address if the name field is not blank, and I used item "0000" which in this bapi means header.  I overwrite the address for the Ship to.
