Up to 3 characters of code defines the country. It is used to identify the country of customers, marketing records and suppliers. All addresses must be allocated a country code.

Country Group
Country grouping code.
Up to 3 characters of code defines the country group. It is used for commodity codes which can vary depending on international trade agreements. For example, the US requires one set of commodity codes for customs, whereas the EU requires a different set. If you need to use country group commodity codes, you must designate each country with a group code. See the Country Group Commodity Codes window for maintenance details.
Special Trading Country flag
Trading block flag
A special trading country is used to identify sales taxable turnover, both outgoing and incoming, relating to customers and suppliers in those countries. It is only a useful feature when the Ledgers option has been licensed. Sales Tax Analysis in the General Ledger provides Special Trading Country turnover. This is specifically necessary for European Union VAT return preparation. Note that the default country (that is, your country) should NOT have the Special Trading Flag set. EC Trade Statistics are applied to countries marked as Special Trading Countries.
