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.
Note that the states used in Costpoint Payroll for withholding taxes are not maintained here but in the STATE table.
You must have already established the related country in the Maintain Countries screen before adding a new state or province.
Enter the country in which the state or province is located. This must already be set up in the Maintain Countries screen.
Enter the state or province abbreviation that needs to be set up. The code can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters. It will be displayed in screens and printed in addresses and reports.
Enter the name of the state or province that is being set up.
For each state or province, you can enter a default sales tax code. 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 Maintain Sales/Value Added Tax 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.
