Updating address effects on previous Sale order

[Former Member]

Dear gurus

While updating the address in XD02 the effects is also taken on previously created sale order.

why is that so..

The previous created sale order should not update the new address of a customer?

Dear Saad,

All address (Customer / Vendors / etc) are stored in a central Table - ADRC.

Thus any change in address in XD02 will change the ADRC table record. Thus this will reflec in all the previously created documents also.

For a detailed explanation please refer to last post in the link below.. .

Hope this helps...

so it mean we have to create a new customer number for that customer.

if that customer keep changing its place so we keep on generating new customer number?

Dear Friend,

Creating a new Customer Code is not a good option. Because it will not give correct Financial Accounting reports...

If the previous Transaction is Complete then why do you want to store that address. (Anyways you will gave hard copies of Invoices which will contain the old address)

Also as explained by Shambhu above, you have to keep the latest address for all communication purposes... thus I dont see any logic in creating new Customer Code.

Hope this helps...

Hiii

No need whenever customer change his address simply you can change his address in XD02 for same customer

if you change the address of customer system will change it in previous document too

Well i do understand

but what if we are not maintaining the print copies of those orders and invoices

in that case if we run the report we will get the new address on previous order's not the old one right.

then there must be something to overcome this scenario.

Generally business identifie's customer by Customer number or Customer name not with the address.

Address is used to send goods or documents only.

Dear Friend,

I am afraid there is no solution to this...

Where you will run a report, system will display the lastet address of the Customer (i.e. the one that exists in ARDC)

Hope his clarifies...

For example previously your customer have head quater in place "A" from where he have placed lots of order. Now customer moved to Place "B" and placing the order. system should not change the address of customer previously created document because how can u track in system then previoue order customer placed order in which place if system update the address of customer in all previously created order.

Second logic for not changing customer order that customer just moved to other place so new order will be created in new address not old one

another One take a scenario Customer placed the order previously from old address now before delivery he moved to new address and as per requirement we need to send the bill in new address then manually you have to change the address at order level for that particular order

Hope it will clear you
