Invoicing party ADDR_BILLT

[Former Member]

Hi SRM gurus,

Issue :

Our invoicing party attribute : ADDR_BILLT in the PO gets picked up from the purchasers attribute and not from the company code.

Org structure :

We have four active company codes belonging to four different countries.

Our purchaser sits in one company code and receives the shopping carts from other cocodes and from sourcing cockpit he converts it into PO.

In this scenario, our ship to address gets picked up from the respective cocodes but the invoicing party ADDR_BILLT gets picked up from the purchasers company code though we have maintained all the four company codes in the purchasers attributes.

I tried already with the following changes but it didnt work :

1) Making the attribute ADDR_BILLT for the respective cocodes( inturn inherited to the respective users who shop) as default but it didnt work.

2) Removing all the defaults for the purchaser attribute ADDR_BILLT --- in this case the last cocode is defaulted.

3) Making every attribute as default in purchaser attribute ADDR_BILLT ( i know this is absurd but tried) -

---

in this case the first one is defaulted.

4) Even if I remove the ADDR_BILLT in the companycodes keeping it active for purchaser it works. So I came to the conclusion that it gets picked up from the purchaser's attributes.

Can anyone suggest me regarding this ?

Any BADI or technical help if it is not possible functionally.

We are working in SRM 4.0, standalone scenario.

<u>You can make default settings for the Invoice Recipient Address and the Ship-To Address via the attribute ADDR_BILLT and ADDR_SHIPT at all levels of the organizational model.</u>

We can use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK BADIs to default ADDR_BILLT instead of ADDR_SHIPT attribute.
