Adding State/Province Codes

You add state and province codes in your Commerce Server database to identify the states and provinces where you ship your orders. The state/province codes identify the states and provinces that appear on your Web site.

Note

• Country/region codes must be added to your Commerce Server database before the state and province codes for that country or region can be added. If you try to add a state/province code for a country or region you have not yet added to your database, you will receive an error message. For more information about adding country/region codes, see Adding Country Codes.

To add a state/province code

1. In Orders, click Data Codes.
   
   
2. In the Order Status Codes screen, click on the toolbar, select State/Province Codes from the drop-down list, and then click on the toolbar.
   
   
3. In the State/Province Codes screen, do the following:

   Use this	To do this
   State/Province Code	Type an alphabetic code for the state or province.
   Display Name	Type the state or province name.

4. To save the changes and return to the State/Province Codes screen, click on the toolbar.

The new state/province code is saved in your Commerce Server database.

Note

• After you add a state/province code, your system administrator must unload the Commerce Server application from memory on each Web server in order for the change to take effect. For more information, see "Unloading an Application from Memory" in Commerce Server 2000 Help.
