Add nationality codes in accordance with the standard

The country codes entered in the address picklist do not always correspond to the mandatory "ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2" standard for the e-invoice (XML file).
Example: For Germany, the ISO code is DE (not D, D- or DE-).
The "ISO country code (Alpha-2)" mapping ensures that the different notations of the country codes in the address are translated into the correct standard.

Check the country codes in advance using an Info Centre list in your database. Click on  infocenterexpandInfo Centre < open E-invoice Einrichtung > Adresse Verwendete Länderkürzel  to see the codes already in use.
