IRD number for NZ company

sapan24

hi,

One of our clients has a NZ company and are trying to insert the IRD number(ABN field- under the Company Information...Departments-->Application Setup-->General-->Company Information and then under the Registration Tab. They want to enter a 9 digit number but the it does not allow entering the 9th digit. Where do I need to modify this?

Sorry I am new user and hence have so many questions.

Thanks

Sapan

Sorry Guys I need to reframe my question. The ABN field is designed for 11 digits. But in the case of NZ they have only 9 characters for IRD and so are getting a red cross. How do I go about fixing it. Thanks

I didnt find it in my Indian database so may be its a localization field.

It will be in coding side only so open Company Information table 79 in design mode and select the field.
check under OnValidate trigger..there it must be checking for 11 digits..

Hi Sapan,
The ABN is specific to Australia. It must be 11 digits as well as conform to the ABN algorithm.
You cannot enter IRD into ABN field without changing codeunit 11600 ABN Management.

If you don't want to change the codeunit I suggest you either use the field 'IRD No' or create a new field for IRD in Company Information table.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks guys. The basic reason for entering it in setup was to maintain the uniformity btw all the companies and so the report header can use it for the NZ company.In the end I just hardcoded the IRD number for the NZ company.
