Each country has different requirements for mailing addresses. If you do business in several countries, you might need to specify formats for each country. To control the placement of this information on reports and labels for a specific country, set up a country constant.
There are predefined mailing formats available to help you quickly set up country constants. In addition to the mailing address format, you can specify the use of a postal code, standard salutation, and attention line.
The following describes the predefined mailing formats:
