Note:

PTV Map&Guide uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. It is important that the same code is used here as in PTV Map&Guide, so that PTV Map&Guide understands which country the addresses are in and distance calculations can be made.

Address format

The address format controls which address elements can be displayed in the Sender and Receiver sections of order reception and on the customer web.

State can only be displayed if US is selected in the drop-down list.

Address data

Select the address data from the drop-down list for example Estonia or Denmark.

To add a new VAT rate, click on Registering VAT rates.

The VAT rate specified here can be overridden. For more information, seeHow Opter chooses the VAT rate for customer invoices
