Sage 200 uses two character country codes to identify members based in the European Community, for the benefit of EC VAT accounting requirements.
A table of codes is maintained by the system and default entries are made in the software when it is installed, so generally you do not have to use this facility. However, on the occasion that new countries join the EU, you may have to add entries.
Open: Accounting System Manager > Settings > Country Codes.
In the boxes available, enter the details.
|
Code |
Enter up to two characters for the country code. |
|
Name |
Enter up to 20 characters for the country name. |
|
EU |
If the country is part of the European Union, select the EU box. |
|
Company Tax No. |
If you have registered for tax in the country, enter the company's tax registration number. This may be necessary if your sales in that country to non-registered customers exceed the country's distance selling threshold. |
Open: Accounting System Manager > Settings > Country Codes.
Note: You cannot amend the two character country code itself as it may be associated with records in the accounting system, but you can amend the country name or tax number. This is not recommended, however, as these are set by the EC.
|
EU |
If the country is part of the European Union, select the EU box. |
Open: Accounting System Manager > Settings > Country Codes.
Note: You can only delete a country code if it is not used by an existing customer or supplier.
