Custom objects creation for storing state names and codes
Create custom objects to store state names and GST codes, ensuring compatibility with Sovos requirements and the default e-invoicing file template.
The state name needs to be converted to a GST code, as Sovos requires GST codes for states.
You can use the Object Manager to create a custom object named
CountryStateCodes
for storing state names and codes since
CountryStateCodes
is already available in the default e-invoicing file template. If you prefer to use another custom object name, ensure to replace
CountryStateCodes
in the default e-invoicing file template with your custom object API name.
During the object creation, add the following country and state fields:
