You can set your system to consider the country when validating the entry in the Zip code field on various Eclipse windows. Setting your system this way allows you to handle international addresses that may have the same postal code as a U.S. zip code.
With this feature:
You can add a postal code to associate it with a country.
When you enter a zip code for an address that is not in the system for the country, the system displays the message, "The Postal Code is not in the system. Do you want to add it?"
After you select to add it, the system displays the Zip Code Maintenance window to enter the zip code and associate it with the country.
You can select the country to use for an address when the zip code is associated with more than one country.
When you enter a zip code for an address that the system associates with more than one country, the system displays the Valid Countries selection box. Choose the appropriate country.
