Incorrect country code in the CIF/NIF in Sage

Understand why Sage assigns a wrong country code to the CIF/NIF and where the problem comes from.

If an incorrect country code linked to the CIF/NIF appears when working with Ubyquo and Sage, the problem originates in Sage's internal data.

Ubyquo does not assign or modify the SiglaNacion (country code) that Sage uses in journal entries.

What happens with the SiglaNacion?

When a CIF/NIF has several country codes linked to it, Sage uses the information from line 1 by default.

For example:

In this case, Sage will use B8 when generating journal entries, even though a second line with the correct code exists.

The SiglaNacion used in journal entries is assigned by Sage from its own internal tables.

Ubyquo is not responsible for determining this information during the export.

The information Sage uses comes from its internal tables, including:

Sage uses the CIF/NIF to find the corresponding information and takes the country code from line 1.

In Sage, find the affected customer or supplier and check the information linked to the CIF/NIF.

Check whether there are several country lines for the same CIF/NIF and which of them is in line 1.

If line 1 contains an incorrect code, contact Sage support and ask them to correct the corresponding records.

Specifically, ask them to review and delete the erroneous records, especially the incorrect line 1, in the tables:

Once the change has been made:

Until the data in Sage's internal tables is corrected, Sage will keep using the incorrect code from line 1.

Therefore, exporting again from Ubyquo does not fix the problem, since the SiglaNacion depends on the information stored in Sage.
