Introduction

SAP entails many checks and validations; one such validation that SAP allows you to control is the Country
specific checks. These include Postal code, Bank & Bank Account and Tax Number validations. This is useful
when you need to update changes in country specific validations or remove some checks for certain
business requirements.

In this document we will see how to set/remove country specific check in customization.

Configuration Guide

There are few configurations that are needed to be in place; most of which is already setup as part of
standard SAP.

1. Set Country Specific Checks

These are the checks that can be customized and you are able to specify the length and a checking rule
which together will be the validation that is relevant for that field.

For example Postal code can have 5 as the length of the field and the Checking rule will determine if the
length specified is the maximum length or the exact length with/without gaps etc.

You could use Further Checks to make the specified field mandatory. For example when Postal code req.
entry is checked, Postal code will be a mandatory input during vendor master creation.

validations in to the programs to ensure smooth data loads.
