List of countries groups
The window is a register of countries grouped in customs groups. Goods coming from the countries of the group are subject to a common customs rate. Groups are used to distinguish the European Union contractor from other contractors. The information about it is located in the card of the contractor (in the Accounting tab). The origin of the contractor is also important for the designation of transactions carried out with it – whether they are domestic, intra-community or other. The information about it is located in the card of the commercial document, in the General tab (in the field: Transaction).
To open the window, from the menu: Lists, select a submenu: Groups of countries.
The window displays a register of the groups of customs countries divided into columns:
Code – the code of the group of customs countries.
Name – full group name.
In window, the user can find the following functions:
[Add] – is used to add a new group, by opening the window: Group of countries.
[Change] – used for editing the group.
[Delete] – used to delete the selected group from the list.

Changes related to Britain’s exit from the European Union
- The code XI – Northern Ireland was added to the list of codes of customs countries. This code was added to the group of EU codes group. When the country code XI is selected on the contractor card, it will be set as an EU contractor by default.
- In the converted databases the country code GB has been left in the group of EU codes. This is necessary for correct registration of corrections to documents issued before 1/1/2021 or continuation of transactions started before that date. The user must take care to set the appropriate contractor type on the [Accounting] tab for UK contractors, i.e. set contractor type: non-EU for them.
- In the new databases, the GB country code is included in the group of non-EU codes. When the country code GB is selected on the contractor card, it will be set as a non-EU contractor by default.
