Countries are used in many different forms and functions throughout the system. For example, all residence and business addresses entered into your database include the country. In addition, employee citizenship is indicated by country.

Data for the ‘Countries’ table is initially supplied by High Line but you may alter this information to suit your company’s needs. ‘Country’ is linked to a legislation country that is used as the taxation jurisdiction for payroll processing.

Each country has country-specific information associated with it, such as the formatting of telephone numbers, mailing codes and government identification numbers (SSN/SIN).

With respect to the formatting used with ePersonality, ‘9’ represents a numeric value, ‘a’ represents a letter of the alphabet, and ‘x’ represents any alphanumeric value.

Certain lexicon values within ePersonality are country sensitive, meaning they have different values for individual countries. Government registrations are also defined by country.

‘Define Countries’ Usage and Examples Country definition data is maintained on the [P2K_CM_COUNTRIES] table.
