5. Create Logical AddressImg: Sales and Distribution -> Billing à Intercompany Billing -> Automatic Posting To
Vendor Account (SAP-EDI) -> Assign vendor. (T. Code WEL1)
![]()
Logical address 1180P3100 is made of the supplying Company Code (1180) and the
receiving Customer (P3100).
Note: If the receiving Customer is a numeric number you must add zeros between the
Company code and Customer number so the Logical Address will be 14 digits.
E.g if the customer number was 3100, than the logical address would have been
11800000003100 as can be seen in the second line.
(In our case the customer is an alpha numeric number so the second line was not necessary. It was created just for this documentation and was not saved)
The Logical address is completed when the receiving Company Code and the Vendor are
entered in the detail screen.
It is also necessary to activate the account assignment.
