2356490 - AddressType: Business not Reflecting on Home Address Portel Under Personal Information

Symptom

  • Address Type "Business" is not reflecting on Home Address Portel on the Personal Information page
  • EC to ERP integration does not sync the address type "Business" to ERP

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

Employee Central - Person Information

Reproducing the Issue

Cause

This is caused by incorrect external_code defined for the addressType picklist value for "Business"

  • You have defined the external_code as "business" instead of "Business".

Resolution

Download the picklist defined in your system via Admin Center > Picklists Management.

You will find the following defaults available under the picklist "addressType" -:

Never change or delete/deactivate the addresssType with external_code "business“!!

With these picklist values for “addressType” you will see on the UI the following values in the dropdown for “Address Type”:

ATTENTION: The type “Business” does not appear. This is the expected system behavior!

Solution

You must create a new picklist option for the addressType picklist and define the external_code as "Business" and not "business" -:

Define an additional picklist entry for picklistId “addressType”. Define the external_code e.g. like “Business” with B as capital letter (the external code in EC is case sensitive), keep the optionId blank, and then import the new picklist value (example below):

If you now navigate to personal information and add an address, you will see the type “BUSINESS” in the drop down list:

Also, when importing data you will be able to create Address records using the new addressType picklist option.

NOTE: The integration to ERP Payroll maps this address type with external code “Business” to the address type “BUSINESS” on the ERP side.
