SAP Business ByDesign

This is a designed system behavior. As for data structure, employee address is coming under Business Partner. Address usage XXDEFAULT can only exist once across all address information records. Therefore, before calling the webservice, the existing address with address usage XXDEFAULT is deleted.

Remove XXDEFAULT in the payload. Once XXDEFAULT is removed, it will not influence the address in Personnel Administration.
