Functionality
With this BAPI you can determine all existing addresses for a businesspartner. The standard address is flagged as such in the table parameter.
Any errors that occur during address determination are logged andreturned in the RETURN parameter.
If the temporal validity of addresses or address usages is used, usersmust enter a validity date (VALID_DATE), otherwise dates that arecurrently valid may be issued. To read all addresses, regardless oftheir temporal valid, specify the initial validity date (VALID_DATE =SPACE).
The table ADDRESSES delivers - if a key date has been entered - only theaddresses valid on the key date. If an address type (ADDRESSTYPE) isalso entered, then only the addresses with the correct temporal validityfor this address type are returned.
If there are no valid addresses for this address type, the tableADDRESSES contains all the addresses with the correct temporal validity.
If the user has entered an address usage and there is no (valid) addressfor it, then the output variables STANDARDADDRESSNUMBER andSTANDARDADDRESSGUID are filled and STANDARDADDRESSUSEINSTEAD isselected.
The output table ADDRESSES_ALL always contains all existing addresses,including addresses that do not have the correct temporal validity.
