SAP follows the standards of the Universal Postal Union for the format of an Address and a Postal code for member countries.

• Addresses are formatted based on valid national and international guidelines - Print formatting for addresses.
• For addresses where the recipient country and the sender country are different, the city and the country lines are printed in uppercase - Basic Pattern.
• The format of the address depends on whether the sender and the recipient country are identical or not. If the countries are not identical, the country is always indicated, either by its full name or by its vehicle country key. If the sender country and the receiver country differ, the system will always print the address in the language of the sending country since the delivering postal service needs to be able to read the country name - Country Formatting.
