address fields.
Prerequisites
Map Positions should be added to the Service List for the business object
type that is being defined on the

Procedure
- Open the Retrieve Object Map Positions window.
- Populate the window to obtain the list of all equipment objects or query
for an existing equipment object (F3).
- In the Populate Filter field, select All, With Addresses
or Without Addresses depending on how you want to
sort the populated list of equipment objects.
- In the Import Configurations group of fields, map the segments of
the equipment
object address to the address elements they match using the Address 1-7
fields. For example, the Zip Code 114 51 defined on an equipment object
needs to be mapped to the Postal Code part of the address. Refer to the
Address Class
Microsoft documentation for more details.
- Click Retrieve Positions to retrieve the positions for the
equipment objects. Note: If positions for equipment objects without
addresses were attempted to be retrieved, the import of these coordinates
will fail. Click Reload Failed Positions to obtain the list of
equipment objects for which the position retrieval failed. Assuming the
address fields were properly matched to the equipment object address, the
reason for the failure of the retrieval is attributed to the address
information on the object being incorrectly entered. Right click on the
equipment object and view the object information. Correct the address
information as necessary.
