• Message class: AM - Business Address Services

• Message number: 287

• Message text: Address cannot be maintained; entry in table TSADRV missing

What causes this issue?

The Business Address Services control table TSADRV requires an entry
for table &V1&, field &V2& which has not been made.

System Response

Address maintenance cannot be called.

How to fix this error?

Maintain the table TSADRV with the transaction SM30.
Make an entry for Dictionary table &V1&, Dictionary field &V2&.
Specify the address group:
Enter 'CA01' for SAP customizing object addresses.
A consistent address group in the customer namespace should be used for
addresses of customizing objects which were not delivered by SAP (e.g.
customer developments): use the address group 'ZA01'.
As this address group is in the customer namespace in table TSAD7, the
entry 'ZA01' must also be made in table TSAD7 in the customer system:
Key: ZA01
Description: Customizing: Customer object addresses
Direct maint.: not marked
Also create the address group 'ZADE' in the table TSAD7 for addresses
of deleted customer objects (if the address of the address group 'ZA01'
is still referred to elsewhere when you try to delete a customer
object, the address is not deleted, the address group is changed to
'ZADE'):
Key: ZADE
Description: Customizing: Adresses of customer objects
Direct maint: not marked

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
