This screen contains the valid states and/or provinces that can be used in addresses. You can also enter territories, or any other type of location smaller than a country, in this screen.
Before using this screen, you must have already established the related country in the Manage Countries screen before adding a new state or province.
Use this field to enter, or use to select, the country in which the state or province is located. This country must already exist in the Manage Countries screen.
This field displays the descriptive name for this Country Code.
Use this field to enter an identification code for this state or province.
Use this field to enter a descriptive name for this state or province.
Use this field to enter a default sales tax code for this state or province. For example, Virginia, like most states, has only one sales tax code. Therefore, it makes sense to come back to this function, after setting up the sales tax codes in the Manage Sales or Value Added Taxes screen, to enter the appropriate default sales tax code for states with only one sales tax rate. Even for states with multiple sales tax jurisdictions, it may be a time-saver to enter a default tax code if all of your company's business takes place in a particular part of the state.
