1) Enter State/Province code, such as NSW and VIC

 

2) Enter State/Province name, such as NEW SOUTH WALES and VICTORIA

 

3) Select if the State/Province is current or not. You will only see the current states in drop down lists

 

4) Enter the sort order. In drop-down lists, the states are listed in ascending order of these values. All states with sort=1 will appear before those with sort=2.

 

19.2.2 When you enter a State/Province in data entry screens, you are not limited to entering a State/Province that you have entered on this lookup screen. However, to prevent users from entering an invalid State/Province, it is recommended that you setup all valid State/Province's.

 

When you are entering a State/Province in data entry screens, if the State/Province you want to enter is not on the drop down list, you can add a new State/Province or make an existing State/Province current by double clicking the State field to open the State/Province screen.
