Bank address from the Central address management (CAM)

Along with the bank you can also change the other address from the
central address management,(CAM) provided you make an entry in the optional parameter BankAddress1 and select the change-relevant fields in parameter BankAddress1x.

If there is no other address from the CAM for the existing bank,
(address number ADDR_NO is blank), with this method you can create anew address. Prerequisite for this is that you enter the attributes for the address (structure BankAddress1). Note that the COUNTRY field in structure BankAddress1 is a required field. In this

If the address is not distributed before the bank, meaning there
is no suitable entry in table ADOWNERREF, this conncetion will be lost in the target system.
