Determine European customer by VAT reg. number [EU STCEG]

Hi!
I work in international company. For one of the countries VAT procedures, in order to know which VAT code to use, I need to know if it is a european customer.
I need to determine to which country the VAT reg. number belongs. For example, I take French VAT reg. number FR12345678, cut 2 first characters, and this way I know that it belongs to FR=FRANCE.
For each country code (FR for example) I can know if it is an european by field T005-XEGLD  = X.
But, I can't find the way to determine always the country - because for Greece, for example, it doesn't work this way : Greece country code is GR and it's VAT reg. number is EL12345678
Is there a functiom module or logic to determine one of the following:
1) takes VAT reg. number and determines it's country
2) takes VAT reg. number and determines if it European
Please help,
Jana

Hello Janna,
VAT reg. numbers are always of the format : <ISO code><number>
From the ISO code, you will always get to know as the VAT number belongs to which country.
Example:
ES10000000Z  -> ISO code ES belongs to Spain
IT09417760155  -> ISO code IT belongs to Italy.
This format is as per the legal requirement that VAT must always start with ISO code.
Hope this answer is helpful,
Regards,

  • VAT reg number in Spain

    Hi
    In europian countries, VAT reg numbers in the customer / vendor master data must start from the ISO code of that country. For Spain ISO code is ES so VAT nos must start from ES.
    Now we have come accross the situation that Spain has started giving VAT nos according to the industry types. These nos starts from U, J and with some other letters.
    Now when we give these nos in the master data, we get an error -  AR191 - ISO Code U1 is not correct in the VAT registration number
    Any one come accross this situation ? I have already checked the possibility of unchecking Other data check box in OY17. It does not work
    Raj

    No idea about Spain but you can have a look at
    "Note 163554 - Tax number checks - general"
    where it has been mentioned that for Spain, system will check Tax Code2.
    thanks

  • How to check existing vat reg. number in XK01 ?

    in transaction KNA1, after inserting the VAT registration number (STCEG) I would like to display a warning if   in table KNA1 there is  another customer with the same VAT number.

  • I have a normal apple account can i enter my vat reg number at the check out or do i need a business account?

    like do i have to make a business account to get a invoice for my tax return thing or do i just add it during the check out in a my normal account

    I'm not sure if it will work with a normal account, but it looks like you can just enter it when you have a business account. 
    From http://store.apple.com/uk/help/payments
    Where do I enter my VAT registration number?
    If you are buying for a business and have a registered account on the Apple Store for Business, you may enter your VAT registration number when you choose your payment method and when you verify your order during the check-out process. The VAT registration number will be printed on your invoice. If you do not have an account, click here to register or call 0800 048 0408.
    You might want to try calling that number to see what your options are with a normal account.

  • VAT Reg Number

    Hi Friends,
    I have Vendor Master created with VAT Number in it, and its for European Region.
    I created the PO(Plant and Vendor in Europ) and did GR and IR, and when I see in FBL1N report for few Vendor System is Population the VAT number(Added the VAT field from Change Layout), and for Few its not Population, can anyone help me in letting me know why its not population for few Vendors.
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Quick tip ,
    1. Check if the Vendor master carries the VAT number.
    2. If it carries now. Then try to check if the vendor master was changed , note Date and time.
    3. check if your IR doc was created later.  This answers your question.
    4. If Vendor does not have the VAT number then find a way to update vendor master..
    The important need to remember always is " Transaction data will carry master data info only if create before Transaction data is created".
    Hope this helps.
    Thx

  • Determination of Customer VAT Reg No.

    Hi All,
    Our client has established a central entity based in Germany, that sells and ships to customers as well as their own subsidiaries in multiple EU countries. Their requirement is to design a solution on SAP to ensure the correct customer VAT registration number is determined on the customer invoice in ALL scenarios. In the majority of cases, the VAT Reg number of the Sold-To-Party is the correct number to use. However, in some scenarios, applying the Sold-To-Party number would be incorrect.
    We are aware that the standard IMG settings of A, B or 'Blank' are available via the menu SD -> Basic Functions ->Taxes ->Maintain Sales Tax Identification Number Determination. The client is currently using a setting of 'Blank' and considering changing this setting to 'B' to meet the majority of scenarios and/or introducing bespoke code to meet the exceptional scenarios given above.
    If you have any experience with the above issue, we would be most grateful for your response.

    You can refer OSS Note 872449 - Tax determination in Sales and Distribution and Note 1412947 - EU tax package 2010 (2)

  • Determining the VAT registration number

    Hi All,
    As per my understanding, we can control Determining the VAT registration number through Certain pre defined rules (first either Sold to Party or Bill to Party & then Ship to Party).
    My requirement is to determine VAT Reg number based on Ship to Party which is not there in standard VAT determination rule.
    Can some one guide me if there is any enhancement / Exit or any other config available through which I can make Determining the VAT registration number based on Ship to Party.

  • 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

    The length of the VAT number, which is important for this check,
    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.
    The check rules are stored in table T005 in the field PRUIN.You can deactivate the following rules.......
    1 Maximum value length, without gaps
    2 Maximum value length, numerical, without gaps
    3 Length to be kept to exactly, without gaps
    4 Length to be kept to exactly, numerical, without
    5 Maximum value length
    6 Maximum value length, numerical
    7 Length to be kept to exactly
    8 Length to be kept to exactly, numerical
    9 Check against country-specific edit format
    10 Deactivate Postal Code Check for USA
    Please do this.

  • Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?

    Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?
    Hi I need to add one additional field for other VAT Reg. number in vendor master data FK01, We currently have two field
    Current Settings:
    Country : LFAS-LAND1
    VAT registration no.: LFAS-STCEG
    I need to add one additional field for text information. Is this possible?
    Thanks you very much
    Luis G.

    If you want to add new fields that are not possible from config (check with your consultant) you need to implement BADIs
    In SPRO, go to:
    >Logistics-General
    ->Business Partner
    -->Vendors
    --->Control
    >Adoption of Cusomter's Own Master Data Fields
    and read the documentation provided there.
    You will need to implement following BAPIs
    Processing Master Data Enhancements: VENDOR_ADD_DATA
    Customer Subscreens: VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS
    I am not aware of any other way to add new fields to Vendor master (however, check with your consultant for config related screen modifications)
    Should you need any further info to implement it, post back (read it thoroughly first, it's quite self-explanatory).

To create a PO I have a German Vendor,German Plant and Netherland Company Code and Purchase organisation.  In FTXP I have created a new Tax code with Reporting country DE(Germany). But the system is not picking the Tax code. My doubt is Is the Field Taxcode will trigger from the Country of the comapny code?
    If it is so, Tax code needs to be with Reporting country Netherland. Then I can do the GRN in Germany Plant. Now I need to Transfer the goods from Germant plant to my Netherland plant. what procedure I have to adopt for this transfer, STO needed? If so what are all the movement types I have to Process? for this  STO config setting has to be done or not?
    During Invoice verification How I can display the My VAT registration Number so that I can show ito my Vendor?.
    Is ther any way to get Vendors VAT registration number also in MIRO?
    Same while Billing(VF01) to my customer I need to have my Customer's VAT registraion number.
    Is ther any possibility to have My VAT registration number in Billing document?
    Hope I have not made you irritated or confused. Since You have immense knowledge on these field, Please help me to fix these issues.
    Thanks & Regards

  • 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

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