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). For more information on these functions, see QAD Financials User Guide.

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.
