Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Do not add a universal VAT-invoice title.Evidence SB_IRD_BUSINESS_RECORDS · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
