Documentation

Definition

The country key contains information which the system uses to check entries such as the length of the postal code or bank account number.

The two-character ISO code in accordance with ISO 3166, which is delivered by SAP as a default, is usually used.

It could also be the vehicle license plate country-code or a typical country key, for example, in Germany the Federal statistics office key.

The country keys are determined at system installation in the global settings.

Since the country key does not have to correspond to the ISO code in all installations, programs that differ according to certain values of the country key cannot query the country key T005-LAND1, but have to program based on the ISO code T005 INTCA.
