Symptom
Is it a way of changing the Country/Region field that appears in the Global Information portlet while adding a new record, as this field is not available in Manage Business Configuration or in the Data Models?
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
