This window appears when you select Country Codes from the Administration Parameters Menu |
Purpose |
This window lists countries that have already been defined and enables you to enter and amend country information needed for tax handling. |
|
You should set up country codes for every country you trade with. |
Note |
Standard country codes are required for the EC Sales List (ESL) in Debtors Ledger and the statistics report in Global 3000 Intrastat. If you set up the country codes incorrectly these reports will be incorrect. |
|
For four countries the country codes required for these two reports are different as shown in Table 4. However if you define these four codes according to the requirements for the ESL, Global 3000 Intrastat will automatically translate them to the correct Intrastat codes. |

You should check with your local tax office for the correct country codes. |
Warning |
We strongly recommend that you never delete country codes. |
The prompts are:
Code |
A code of up to two characters. |
Note |
For recommended codes for EC and non-EC countries, see the Installation and Setup manual. |
Country |
A description of up to 30 characters. |
EC |
(Y/N.) Enter Y if the country is in the EC, otherwise enter N. |
Tax reg mask |
The tax registration mask determines the format of tax registration codes which differ between countries. The following symbols can be used in a mask: § ? will allow any character including blank spaces. So a mask of ?????????????? will enable any registration code or none to be entered. |
|
§ X will allow any character except for blanks. |
|
§ 9 forces a number to be entered |
|
Any other character (including blanks) forces that character to appear. |
Example |
If you set the UK mask to be GB 999 9999 99 only registrations starting with GB and consisting of numbers with blank spaces in the correct places would be accepted. The registration GB 123 1234 56 would be accepted but GB123 45 6 would be rejected. |
Note |
If the mask is left completely blank no registration codes will be accepted. |
