How To: Financial Setup for World-Wide Customers

This How To is for setting up customers that are NOT located in the UK or the EC.

Important Points to Note

Countries

Khaos Control is normally supplied pre-configured with the ISO-3166 countries and a UK zone (comprising United Kingdom, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey) already present. Flags are set against EC countries to indicate whether:

  • "VAT applies" (Tax) and

Running Health Check from the main screen's File menu should reveal any significant errors in the Country table.

In virtually all cases both the Tax and EU tickbox will be NOT be ticked for World Wide Customers.
