Maintaining Regulatory Regions

The size and definition of a regulatory region can be smaller or larger than a country, varying by the transaction or application. However, the standard region is a Country Code.

You can create additional transaction or application views that display only the applicable regions for that transaction. Place the Regulatory Region field on that transaction record and define an edit prompt in the transaction-specific view. The view should display only those countries that are available to the user (either Available to All or With Global Security Only, joined with user Global Security). For example, the following table shows some regulatory regions that are already in the system:

Transaction Type	Reg Region (Char 10)	Description (Descr)	Country Code (Alt-Search)	Security Availability Status
Standard	BEL	Belgium	BEL	With Global Security Only
Health and Safety	BEL	Belgium	BEL
Standard	CAN	Canada	CAN	Available to All
Health and Safety	CANBC	Canada - British Columbia	CAN
Standard	DEU	Germany	DEU	Available to All
Standard	FRA	France	FRA	Not Available to Anyone
Standard	GBR	UK	GBR	With Global Security Only
Standard	JPN	Japan	JPN	Not Available to Anyone
Standard	NLD	Netherlands	NLD	Not Available to Anyone
Health and Safety	QC	Canada - Quebec	CAN
Standard	USA	United States	USA	Available to All

You can add regulatory regions for your own configuration. For example, you can add the 50 U.S. states and differentiate at that level for most transactions.
