Ship-to address changes on customer master not updating orders

[former_member671529]

We have recently noticed that ship-to address changes on the customer master made with XD02 no longer show up on existing standard orders. Similar changes to the sold-to addresses do show up but no tthe ship-to addresses. Does anyone know how we can resolve this problem?

hi jeff,

the adresses of a partner is

- with reference to the master-data ( if unchanges in the Order )

- of copied in the order and then changed and saved onlyy for the order.

in the first case, a change of the main data will effect a change in the order.

in the second case, the change of the main data will not change the order, data - they are separate.

you can see this in se16 / table vbpa.

look at the adressnumber.

Adressnumbers of 9++++ are of the 2nd - manual type.

I guess, in the ship to partner, there is done a manual change in the order.

in solt to data normally you don't need such a change. therfor the sold-to partner will get the changes of masterdata -- the ship to partner has manual adress of the orden.

Thank you, Hans. Actually we do see ship-to addresses on orders get updated when the ship-to customer master is updated, but not in all cases. We are speculating that if the ship-to address on a specific order is changed manually, then a change to the ship-to customer master may not affect that specific order, but we have not full tested that theory yet.

In any event, thank you for your reply.
