Like I mentioned it made shipping more difficult for me. I don't think there is really any issue in regards to confusing one of the overseas departments with Continental France because each of the overseas departments have their own country codes: France (FR) Martinique (MQ) Guadeloupe (GP) Réunion (RE) French Guiana (GF)
With the above list there is really no room for confusion. The confusion comes in when we start using FX when it isn't on the official ISO 3166 list. FX is the only 'country' we have in OFBiz that isn't on that list. Regards Scott On 5/06/2010, at 8:09 PM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > It was there since I began to work with OFBiz.
