How To Fix AM291 - Entry missing in TSADRV; new address maintenance cannot be called

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AM - Business Address Services

• Message number: 291

• Message text: Entry missing in TSADRV; new address maintenance cannot be called

What causes this issue?

The extended table maintenance (sm30) uses the (new) Business Address
Services for maintaining customizing object addresses from Release
4.0A.
The associated entry in the Business Address Services control table
TSADRV does not exist.
A domain of the old address tables is also used for the address in this
table.

System Response

The extended table maintenance calls the function module of the old
address maintenance. This can cause problems.

How to fix this error?

If the table is part of a customer development which existed before the
upgrade to 4.0, it has not yet been modified for the changes in Release
4.0. You can proceed, but you are strongly recommended to perform the
steps described in the address management 4.0A Release notes, so that
the Business Address Services functions are available to customer
developments in the same way as to SAP functions.
The address management Release notes are under Cross-application
components -> General application functions.
If the table is part of a new customer development for Release 4.0:
use the Business Address Services domain AD_ADDRNUM for the address
reference.
maintain the table TSADRV with the transaction SM30.
create an entry for Dictionary table &V1&, Dictionary field &V2&.
enter the address group:
A consistent address group in the customer namespace should be used for
addresses of customizing objects not delivered by SAP: use the address
group 'ZA01'.
As this address group is in the customer namespace of 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 deleted customer objects
Direct maint: not marked
If the table is an SAP table this case should not arise in a customer
system. If it does, send a problem message to SAP quoting the number AM
291 of this message.
Continuing can lead to inconsistencies.
