The system uses records called business relations to manage basic address information. A business relation contain location, contact, and tax information for a set of related addresses. These records are created as part of corporate setup using functions found on the Address Setup Menu (36.1.4). These functions are described in User Guide: QAD Financials.

The country code from the address sets the default for Country of Destination/Dispatch on customer and supplier orders. You can change these codes at order entry. This is useful when the shipping/receiving site of the supplier/customer is in a different country than the one where the order is sent.

Use Company Address Maintenance (2.12) to associate each shipping and receiving site used in Intra-EU inventory movements with a business relation. The business relation address provides details, such as the country code.

The region code for intrastat is specified in Declarant Maintenance (29.22.1.20 ). See Set Up Declarants.
