Province attribution
Why country matters to province grouping
A province code alone is ambiguous when an order's selected country is missing or not Canada.
Inspect the source record
Open the order and inspect both country and province fields together. A short province-like code is not sufficient evidence by itself.
Build a focused report
Regenerate a focused report with the intended address basis and inspect any UNRESOLVED review code for the event.
Read the result
TaxPack validates the selected Canadian address before assigning a province group; invalid combinations stay visible for review.
A concrete example
An order marked country US with state ON should not be silently treated as an Ontario order simply because ON appears in a field.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not repair a report by rewriting exported province text. Verify and correct the source order only when the business records support it.
