Countries (tcmcs0110s000)

Use this session to enter and maintain a country.

You can specify several details such as the access numbers for telephone and fax.

Based on the fields in the Phone Number Data group box, LN can automatically split a full phone number. If LN recognizes the structure of a phone number, the full phone number is by default distributed across various fields in phone and fax number sessions.

Country

Countries are the national states where your suppliers and customers are located. For each country you can define the country code, international dialing, telex, and fax codes.

Countries are part of the data that you must set up for tax reporting. In addition, items can be grouped and selected according to their country of origin.
