Documentation
Definition
Indicator that determines how the Postal code field check is to be carried out.
Defined checks are triggered using Key 1 to 8. The numeric entry, the length of the entry, and any gaps in the entry are checked.
A special country-specific check is activated using Key 9. The entry is checked against a template defined in the system. Templates are currently defined for Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, and Portugal.
The following templates are implemented (A = letter, N = digit):
Canada: ANA NAN
The Netherlands: NNNN AA
Poland: NN-NNN
Sweden
Slovakia
The Czech Rep.: NNN NN
South Korea: NNN-NNN
Portugal: NNNN-NNN or NNNN
In the case of Portugal, the templates NNNN (old form) and NNNN-NNN (after the postal code reform) are used for the transition if check rule '9' is set.
USA: The system checks, independently of check rule '9', whether the postal code for an address in the USA satisfies the format NNNNN-NNNN or NNNNN.
EXAMPLE&
With the check rule, you can determine, for example, whether the length is to be adhered to exactly or whether it is a maximum length. You can also determine whether numeric characters only are allowed or whether alphanumeric characters can also be used, for example.
