Zip Codes
In any software, it is possible, on entry of the address, to automatically enter the zip code from the entry of the city or vice versa (when several zip codes are associated with a city or the inverse, it will be necessary to use a selection window). This function uses the zip code table defined here.
In addition it will be possible to carryout a control based on this table, warning the user when the city or zip code are unknown. This control can only be carried out in the default country or for all the countries.

Presentation
The entry of zip codes is carried out on a single tab. Defined here are the country, the zip code as well as a community code. None of these codes forms a unique key in the table.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Block number 1
| This field identifies the country to which the zip/postal code belongs. |
|
| Name of the town/city corresponding the zip code previously entered : It is the issuing office or the attached community. |
Block number 2
| This code is the "official" code for the municipality. It is part of the record identifier, because a town/city can have 2 different codes in rare cases. |
| In federal countries where the notion of a state exists (for example the USA), define the code for the state. |
| Used to associate a geographic code with a zip code (USA localization). |
