This data set contains information about business units. It is used to automatically detect the business unit (i.e. the division of the company that received the invoice) and check information about the business unit against a database.
If no information about the business unit is found in the data set, or if you are not using business unit databases, ABBYY FlexiCapture will use neural networks for field detection, unless neural networks are disabled in the program settings. For more information, see Detecting the main fields.

CountryCode

Note: The program does not use the CountryCode when searching for the business unit. CountryCodes are ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two-letter codes. This field is required because the program uses the country of the business unit to determine the way the FlexiLayout is applied to invoices and the way fields are checked.
