AM718 - Details

  • The SAP error message AM718 indicates that there is an issue with the format of a postal code in the system. Specifically, it states that a hyphen ('-') must be present in a specific position of the postal code.
    
    Cause: The error typically arises when the postal code entered does not conform to the expected format defined in the system. In many cases, postal codes have a specific structure, and the presence of a hyphen is required to separate different parts of the code (for example, in formats like ZIP+4 in the United States).
    Solution: To resolve this error, you should: Check the Postal Code Format: Verify that the postal code you are entering follows the required format. For example, if the expected format is XXXXX-XXXX, ensure that you have five digits, followed by a hyphen, and then four more digits. Correct the Entry: If the postal code is incorrect, modify it to include the hyphen
