Nationality Code | Validation During Wage Accounting

Task #8161 | Update 5051.100

The nationality code (table Contry/Region) must be entered in double digits (swissdec default) according to the standard ISO 3166-2. A few customers have still recorded 1-digit or 3-digit country codes in the system and assigned them to employees. This causes problems (validation) during ELM submission.

During wage accounting, the system checks if the country code has 2 digits. This does not yet ensure that this country code actually exists, but there is no validation error during the ELM submission.

A list of current country codes according to ISO 3166-2 can be found under the following Link.
