To add or review Country definitions choose
The Main page is used to customize the fields and field
descriptions that will be displayed everywhere addresses are used
in the system. This ensures that the all addresses conform to the
customary address format and conventions of the particular country
you have defined.
Description of Page
Enter a unique Country and Description for the country.
The address fields that appear in the Main page are localization
options that are used to customize address formats so that they conform
to address requirements around the world. By indicating that an address
field is Optional, you
make that field available everywhere addresses for this country are
used in the system. You can enter your own descriptions for the labels.
These labels will appear wherever addresses are maintained in the
system.
Note: Your specific product may also add the ability to mark an address
field as Required. If
that is available, then the product is also supplying appropriate
validation in all places where a user defines an address.
Note: For any country where the State is enabled, the valid states for the country must
be entered on the Country - State tab. When entering address
constituents on a record that captures this detail, the value for
State is verified against the data in the State table. For any country
where there is a component of the address that represents a "state"
but your implementation does not want to populate the valid states
for that country, choose a different field such as County for this
constituent (and define an appropriate label). When entering address
constituents on a record that captures this detail, no validation
is done for the County column.
