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)
