Code Field, Country/Region Table
Specifies the code for the country/region for which you are doing business. You can use official ISO country or region codes, such as the codes shown in the following table.
| Country/Region | Code |
|---|---|
Belgium |
BE |
Netherlands |
NL |
Germany |
DE |
After a country or region code has been set up, you can enter it in the Country/Region Code field on a customer, vendor, or contact card. This links the information in this table to the customer, vendor, or contact.
Warning
The Code field must be completed if you do business with other countries/regions in the European Union (EU). This is because you use the Country/Region table to create Intrastat reports, which include information about sales to other countries/regions.
The code must be unique. You cannot include the same code two times in one table. You can set up as many codes as you like.
Note
The country/region code and name are used in the foreign payment file. If you want the country/region name related to foreign banks to be in English, for example, make the necessary adjustments here.
