Abstract

The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a most suitable address for a master data object instance for a given usage in a business transaction document, master data object, or business process. A computer-implemented method includes determining, using at least one computer, an address determination sequence, applying the address determination sequence to available address instances of a master data object instance, identifying a most suitable address from among the available instances, and retrieving an address value from the identified most suitable address instance.
