The SAP error message
/FLDQ/AD_ADDR_ERRORS430
indicates that there are multiple possible address matches that are too similar for the system to determine which one to select. This typically occurs during address validation or when trying to standardize addresses using the Address Validation (AD) functionality in SAP.Cause:
- Ambiguous Address Data: The input address may have multiple valid interpretations that are very similar, making it difficult for the system to choose one definitive match.
- Insufficient Distinction: The addresses being compared may lack sufficient distinguishing features (like house numbers, street names, etc.) to allow the system to differentiate between them.
- Data Quality Issues: Poorly formatted or incomplete address data can lead to multiple similar matches.
Solution:
- Review Input Data: Check the address data being processed for accuracy and completeness. Ensure that all necessary components (street name, house number, city, postal code, etc.) are included and correctly formatted.
- Manual Selection: If the system cannot automatically determine the correct address, you may need to manually select the appropriate address from the list of possible matches.
- Enhance Address Data: If possible, enhance the address data with additional information that can help distinguish between similar addresses (e.g., adding a building name or additional identifiers).
- Configuration Adjustments: Review the configuration settings for the address validation process in SAP. Adjusting the matching criteria or thresholds may help the system better differentiate between similar addresses.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on address validation settings and error handling.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
