Symptom
When creating a sales document (Sales Order, Service Order, etc) for a private account, only the Title (German 'Herr' = Mr.) is displayed in the Name section of the Involved Parties tab, and the actual name is shown in the Additional Name 1 field.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
The Service Order document will be used for the following example:
- Go to Service Order Work Center.
- Go to Service Order Processing View.
- In the Common Task, Select New Service Order.
- In the Account field, enter the Account ABC (where ABC represents the Account ID).
- Navigate to Involved Parties tab.
Title Herrn (Mr.) is displayed for the private account ABC in Name section in address sub-tab and the actual name is shown in the field 'Additional Name Field 1.
Cause
In some country/regions the address formatting rules demand that the form of address is maintained in a separate lines and Germany is one of them. The Title, First name and Last name should be maintained in two different lines.
For Example:
Title,
First and Last name,
Whereas if the individual customer is from the United States, then the form of address would be printed in the same line. For Example: Mr. XYZ (XYZ represents Customer's name).
Resolution
This is expected system behavior.
