Definition

Identifies the country in which the delivery originates.

Use

You can define the country key in a table. As a rule, it is a good idea to use the existing international standards for identifying vehicles from different countries (for example: USA = United States, I = Italy, and so on). The system uses the key to

  • help determine the relevant taxes during pricing
  • determine important country-specific standards (the length of postal codes and bank account numbers, for example)
