Error: Address still in use; change to validity not allowed

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we have a business partner (Company) with 2 adresses as company is changing from one city to another one. This business partner has several contact persons assigned and this contact persons use the reference address of the company.

Now we want to put an end date (Transaction BP) to the old adress and make the new address the standard address. When trying to save we get an error "Address still in use; change to validity not allowed". We found out that the old adress is still assigned to the contact persons and the system we think for this reason does not allow us to make the adress changes on the company.

Is there any SAP Standard way so that the new standard adress is automatically referenced to the contact persons too? We want to avoid of making all the changes to all of the contact persons. Can this be switched of with change of parameter CRMADDR in view SMOFPARSFA?

Any hints are welcome.

We changed finally our own development object by using  BAPI_BUPR_CONTP_ADDR_REMOVE and  afterwards

BAPI_BUPR_CONTP_ADDR_ADD to change the addresses of all contact

persons.
