Where to use the Country masters in the application
Once a Country is listed in the country master it can then be used in a lot of other masters in the application. While defining an address the Country field will autopopulate with the Country information already defined country master. Every entity where a user needs to define the address the country masters are used extensively.
A few examples where Country Master is used are
-- Business address
-- Customer address
-- Vendor address
-- Store address
While the country master is already defined, the states / provinces for the country need to be defined. Clicking on the edit icon in the country row will launch the State Master screen. You can enter the states / provinces in this screen.
