ERROR ar 196 VAT registration number contains invalid characters

HI GURUS!
I have a problem when i am trying to create a new vendor.
The case is that i dont have the correct registration vat number and this vendor is from the uk.
I have a number to use but it is not the correct one.
The thing that i want to do is to create this vendor with my wrong number and to avoid the validation of the specific for the country.
I tried with the t-code OY17 and i desactivate the flags for vat registration number, but it still giving me the same error ..
What should i do???
Thanks in advance

You can change the Vendor VAT No after you get it.
Till such time enter the dummy VAT No starting with Country Key...Example for Germany DE..... and for India IN.....
Restore orignal values in OY17.

VAT registration number in VD02 is in error

Hello ALL,
I'm seeking your advice on the following error i encountered during a change in the customer master.
I have one customer with ES as it's country.
The current VAT registration number is ESB0062082C. However, i want to change it into ESW0062082C.
However, when i try to change it, the error "VAT registration number is invalid" appears.
When I try different VAT numbers like ESA########, ESC########, ESD########, ESF######## until ESH######## it is all accepted.
But when i use ESI######## to ESZ########, the error "VAT registration number is invalid" appears.
Can you please tell me what causes this? what should i modify in the customizing to allow ESW########?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The control digit (the final C) cannot go on C after change the root B by W. You can check the codification of VAT number in Spain in this [article of wikipedia|http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BAmero_de_identificaci%C3%B3n_fiscal] (in spanish). You have a [link|http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%B3digo_de_identificaci%C3%B3n_fiscal] with the algorithm in differents programming languages.
If you have doubts, do a debugging session in function module EU_TAX_NUMBER_CHECK, when it call the subroutine check_digit_check_e.
Finally, here, in Spain, is usual that salesman (the people that usually give this kind of information) will be inaccurate with this kind of data.

The VAT registration number already exist while extending the CMR

Hi All,
We are already having a customer master record for two sales area(one for spain and another one for Netherland). Now we are extending the customer to a new sales area for the country Romania.
But while extending the customer we are getting the error message "The VAT registration number already exist".
Awiting your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just make sure that your customer basic country belong to the European Union. You need to select the OTHER Tab of the Vat Registration number . Enter Romania and its respective VAT number.
Just try this and let me know if it working or Not.

Dealing with error:AR191-ISO code in VAT Registration Number in Cust Master

Hi,
While creating a Customer Master, user wants to enter a VAT Registration number (in the control data tab) which begins with a country code(ISO code) that is not the country code of the company code for which the customer is created.
As a standard practice, system prevents this throwing error AR191 suggesting that ISO Code not correct in VAT Reg. number
Is there any way by which we can still allow user to enter a VAT registration number of his choice & requirement, which is not beginning with the ISO code of the country in which company code exists
See example below:
Country of Company Code XYZ :UK
Customer Created in this company code should ideally have VAT Reg. Number starting with ISO code for UK but user wants to have a different VAT Reg. Number used which is not starting with ISO Code of UK.
Is there option available in SAP by means of which we can deactivate this check?
In the configuration for u2018set country specific changeu2019, we can select options based on the length of the VAT Reg. Number and itu2019s formatting but how can we get rid of the check on ISO code?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
BM

is stored in field UINLN.
If the check comes across an invalid format, an incorrect country key, or an incorrect check digit, the exception NOT_VALID is triggered, and an error message is sent. If the check runs successfully, nothing will be drawn to the attention of the user.

Vat registration number in 'Other' button

Hello All ,
I want to enter Vat registration number in 'Other ' button in vendor master data (control tab) . But in Tax report , it doenst appear when I enter it . The report takes the Vat reg only from the first screen which we enter on vendor master data .
How I can appear VAT reg number which I enter it to 'other ' on vendor master data in tax report ?
Regards,
Simar

Hi,
You have to post a document that actually uses the "Other " Vat number. The default for any postings is the usual number.
The tax report takes the number from the document and not the vendor master.
Kind regards

Other Vat registration number

Hello All ,
I want to enter Vat registration number in 'Other ' button on
vendor master data . But in Tax report , it doenst appear when I enter it . The report takes the Vat reg only from the first screen which we enter on vendor master data .
How I can appear VAT reg number which I enter it to 'other ' on vendor master data in tax report ?

Dash,
Why would a vendor have 2 Vat Registration numbers?
If that is the case surely you should create a seperate Vendor master record.

Copying vendor's VAT registration number into FI Document

How do I get the vendor's VAT registration number from the vendor's master record to copy into the FI Document when posting a vendor invoice via tcode F-43.
Now, BSEG-STCEG is always blank now on all our vendor invoices. Also, the branch account, BSEG-FILKD, is blank. All vendor invoices are manual journals via F-43.
I think I need to configure SAP so that the user must also enter the Branch Account when posting to a vendor in tcode F-43. Then, I think that SAP standard will lookup the Branch Account Vendor to copy in the VAT registration number into BSEG-STCEG.
I see that my customer invoices posted via SD are correctly being populated with the Branch Account of the Sold-To customer.
I further see that SAP standard code in MF05AI10_STCEG_PRUEFEN appears to only update BSEG-STCEG via the Branch Account (BSEG-FILKD) and not via the vendor (BSEG-LIFNR).

Hi All,
I'm facing the same problem, kindly let me know how do I get the Vendor's VAT registration number while posting invoice. As every time when I'm trying to post vendor invoice the system ask for the customer number and the Reporting country and pick up the VAT reg. no. from the customer master base and not from the vendor master base.

How to fetch the VAT registration number of the ship to party from billing

Dear SDN Team
How to fetch the VAT registration number of the ship to party from the billing document. Can you proide some information for fetching the VAT registration number of the ship to party.
Normally only the payer VAT registration number will be displayed in the Invoice. But in my case the Ship to party VAT number is displayed.
I have resolved this problem by doing the customizing setting in order to have the payer vat registration number. But for the Old Billing documents it is more than 30,000 documents where it was printed with the ship to party VAT number. So i need to identify those documents.
Can you please help to resolve this problem.
With Regards,
Jai

Hi,
To get VAT from the ship to from Billing, You have to first fetch the BILLING NUMBER from the VBRK and then goto the Document flow in VBFA to get the SALES DOCUMENT NUMBER and with sales document you will get the SHIP TO number from the VBPA with the PARVW = SH
Once you got the SHIP TO , then goto the KNA1 and get the VAT ID in the field STCEG
so the logic will be as follows
VBRK---VBELN and then
VBFA--VBELN with the document Category as C
VBPA-VBELN and get the KUNNR with PARVW =SH
Now with KUNNR ( ship to ) get the VAT ID from KNA1-STCEG

Wrong VAT registration number in billing document

Hi All,
We have issue of wrong VAT Registration Number determined in the billing document for the departure country SK & Destination country DE. In one case system has determined the own co, tax number in the VAT registration number and other case ship-to party's VAT registration number for same partner.
As per business wants ship to party VAT number only.it was created few days back.
Pls advaise on this.
Thanks,
naveen

Hello Naveen
For tax exempt, Intra-EU transactions, you need to specify both the VAT registration number of the company code and that of the customer. See the SAP documentation link below.
I don't have any advice on the config for the issue- why it prints co code VAT registration number once and that of SH party another time.
Please go through the following OSS note and those mentioned within for complete guidance on customizing for VAT for EU countries. There's a lot of stuff to take care of.
