Why does the State field in Address default to Alabama for country selection of United States on SAP Business Network instead of the Region selected in Supplier Request?

For the Region value in Address within a Supplier Request to sync to SAP Business Network registration page, you would need to use Extended Address question in the Supplier Request questionnaire.

Also, you would need to configurable master data to define mappings between the region codes used in Extended Address questions in supplier management questionnaires and the ISO 3166-2 state codes that SAP Business Network uses in supplier profile addresses.

To import site master data to define country-specific ERP region code mappings, you must be a member of the Customer Administrator group.

Steps to Import country-specific ERP region code mappings are as below:

1. Manage > Administration > Site Manager > Data Import/Export.
2. Under Import, search for Import Country-Specific ERP Region Code Mappings task.
3. Click on Import and select the operation as Load.
4. Browse the ANERPRegionMapping.csv file and click Run. (Default country-specific ERP region code mappings are to be imported as ANERPRegionMapping.csv)

Once the task is completed successfully, the master data will index and be available in SLP.

Refer to Defining country/region-specific ERP region code mappings for more information.
