Field help (BAPAPTCTY)

The city automatically proposed 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 (SUP chapter, INT group) needs to have the value "Yes" for this control to apply.
• if the city 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.

This is the code of the town/city linked to the address of either the BP, the first contact, or the first sales representative of the list, in the case of an address automatic assignment.
