• Description (BPADES field)

Description of the address (for internal usage). Example: temporary address, principal warehouse address...

• Country (field CRY)

This code is used to identify, amongst other things, the Country of a BP.
This is important information, associated with a number of characteristics useful for performing controls on other linked information, in particular:

• the telephone number format,
• the format of the number used to identify a company or activity (SIRET, SIC) and whether the entry is mandatory,
• the postal code format of the town and also the code of the geographic subdivision, and whether their entry is mandatory,
• whether the VAT number of this community is mandatory,
• the Bank ID code format.

• Country name (CRYNAM field)

Name of the country used in the addresses and in all those documents where the country code is entered.

• Address line 1 (BPADDLIG1 field)

Indicate the address of the location.

• Postal code (POSCOD field)

The postal code, whose entry format is defined in the Country table, is used to define the town/city and the geographical subdivision if it is defined for the country.
When the postal code is changed the city/town corresponding to the new code is automatically displayed. The principle is the same for the geographical subdivision if it is present for the country.
It is also possible to manually enter the town/city name. If the town/city is already defined, the associated postal code is automatically displayed.

The control of this information and its mandatory nature depend on the setup carried out in the country management. In order for the control to be applied, the POSCOD - Nonexistent postal code alert parameter (SUP chapter, INT group) must also have the value "Yes".


Particular cases :

- for ANDORRA, indicate 99130
- for MONACO, indicate 99138
- for the other overseas countries, indicate the INSEE code of the country or 99999 if not known.

• City (CTY field)

The city automatically suggested is the one associated with the postal code previously indicated. It is also possible to manually enter the name of a town/city:

• if the town/city is already defined, the associated postal code is automatically displayed,
• If the city does not exist and the postal code control has been set up in the Country record, a warning message is displayed but the continuation of the entry is authorized. In addition, the CTY - Nonexistent city alert parameter (chapter SUP, group INT) must have the value "Yes" for this control to apply.
• If the latter does not exist and the postal code is not entered, a blocking message is displayed when the postal code is set up as mandatory for the country.

Notes :

• Its format is defined in the Country record setup.
• Depending on this setup, the entered town/city can automatically be converted into uppercase after it has been entered.
• In order to make selections easier without taking into account the format (accented characters/uppercase letters/lowercase letters), the selection window available on this field proposes a column dedicated to the search, where the names of the towns/cities are displayed in uppercase. The control which is carried out is case-insensitive since it is carried out with respect to the town/city name stored in uppercase.

• Web site (FCYWEB field)

This field is used to indicate a web site.
