Regional Structure Update RSADRLSM02
Purpose
This wiki is to give information related to the Business Address Services report RSADRLSM02.
Overview
SAP customers can have very large amount of addresses for their business, due to these large amounts of data and
new ways of receiving, updating and using address information, errors can occur and these errors could are costly. So
for any company good address quality is a desirable asset. The report RSADRLSM02 is used for the import and update
of reference data in the SAP regional structure (the regional structure is used to check whether the postal data for an
address is correct, the postal data is postal codes, cities, streets, etc.).
Section 1
The SAP regional structure is delivered empty and must be filled by the customer, this means that the customer is
responsible for obtaining the country-specific data for filling the regional structure. Also customers are
responsible maintaining it. This country-specific postal data can usually be obtained from the relevant country's post
organization or an third party source. Here is a diagram of the flow of this information into the SAP system:
Section 2
The first step in this process is that the format of the reference data must be converted into a form that the report
RSADRLSM02 can run with, the LSM Workbench can be used for this.
Section 3
The next step is that RSADRLSM02 should be run and the source file or files with the normalized data should be
specified. The SAP regional structure is then filled during the first import. For each time the report is run after
this, difference tables are filled with the new/different regional structure data, this data will then be used when the
Quarterly Adjustment is run.
Section 4
Any differences that may occur when the reference data is updated in the SAP regional structure are stored on the
database. The Quarterly Adjustment reports (RSADRQU1, RSADRQU2 and RSADRQU3) should then be run in
succession in order to adjust the addresses stored in the database according to the new regional structure data.
Section 5
It is very important that the latest version of the report is being used, the latest version of the report can be found in
note 333899. The correction instructions for the report are continuously updated in the note, please be aware that this
note cannot be implemented with SNOTE.
