  Error Message
  VP011: Change in address needed for one-time sold-to party &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to create or change a sales document (e.g., sales order) involving a one-time sold-to party (a customer master record created for one-time use, typically with customer number starting with '9' or configured as a one-time customer) and the system detects that the address data for this one-time customer needs to be updated or confirmed.
  In SAP, one-time customers are used when you want to enter customer data directly in the sales document without maintaining a full customer master record. However, the system requires that the address data for the one-time customer be complete and consistent.
  The message indicates that the address data for the one-time sold-to party is incomplete or inconsistent and must be changed or confirmed before proceeding.
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When creating or changing a sales document with a one-time sold-to party.
  When the address data for the one-time customer is missing or incomplete.
  When the system is configured to require address confirmation or update for one-time customers.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Update the Address Data:
  
  Go to the sales document (e.g., VA01, VA02).
  Navigate to the sold-to party address section.
  Enter or correct the address details for the one-time sold-to party.
  Make sure all mandatory address fields (street, city, postal code, country, etc.) are filled correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  If the one-time customer is maintained in the customer master (KNA1), verify the address data there.
  If the customer is truly one-time and no master record exists, ensure the address is entered in the sales document.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Check the settings in Sales and Distribution (SD) customizing related to one-time customers.
  Transaction code: SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Account Groups ? Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)
  Verify the account group for one-time customers and the required fields for address data.
  Also check the settings for address verification or mandatory address fields.
