A formatted address is displayed in a popup. The address is formatted by the function module Address_into_Printform according to national and international guidelines.
If you click on the Address_into_Printform, you will be directed to a Performance Assistant screen, which has information about the Address Format According to Post Office Guidelines.
Resolution
For addresses where the recipient country and the sender country are different, the city and the country lines are printed in uppercase. The address printed follows the guidelines set forth by the Universal Postal Union as closely as possible. One of these guidelines is to print the city and country in upper case in any international address.
Business Address Services (BAS) provides you with different address layouts that abide by the formatting rules of Universal Postal Union. These address layouts are displayed on the UI and are also applied in output print forms for the receiver address and other third party addresses.
