Error: Maintain VAT registration no. for country in previous screen

Hi,
I am getting an error "Maintain VAT registration number for country in previous screen"
The vendor is based in Amsterdam and the VAT Reg No. is for Netherlands. There are other VAT Reg numbers (different countries) as well for the vendor maintained in the 'Others' tab in master data.
Because of maintaining the VAT reg no. on main screen of master data, I am getting an error in Vendor tax acquisition report, where VAT reg. nos. for other countries are missing and I can see only Netherlands VAT reg number in the report.
Has anyone of you faced such kind of a issue?
Thanks,

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.

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.

VAT registration No. in Company Code Global Parameters

Hi All,
I have tried to enter the Vat registration No. for a New Zealand Company Code and i have faced the error as "Entry of a VAT reg.no.is only possible for co.codes in EC countries"
Pls let me know config step to enter the VAT reg no irrespective of the above mentioned error.
Thank you
Gopi

Dear Gopi,
The VAT Registration No. field is reserved for only European countries, with an exception to Canada and few others.
By system design, the VAT registration number cannot be entered via transaction code OBY6 for non-EU countries. However, the following workaround can be used to accomplish this:
1. Turn ON the EU country switch (T005-XEGLD) in the Country Global Parameters via trans OY01.
2. Enter the VAT registration no. in the Company Code Global Data via transaction code OBY6.
3. Turn OFF the EU country switch (T005-XEGLD) in the Country Global Parameters via transaction code OY01. This switch should be turned OFF.

Several Vendor VAT registration numebr with some Country KEY

Dear SAP guru,

2 - IT06534340721
When I tried to input the second vat registration numebr in the field "OTHER", there is an error message:"Maintain VAT registration no.for country IT on the previous screen"
franckly I am not able to understand where is the problem,
thanks for the help
marco

Dear Ravi
thanks for the reply.
about you question:
1 - View Control of vendro master data: the first vat reg no is in the field STCEG (table STCEG). I enter the second vat registration number by clinking on OTHER icon and the I input: contry key IT and VAT registration number
2 - the format of vat registration numebr is correct, for ITALY is 13 lenght wihotu gaps
3 - the error message is "Maintain VAT registration no.for country IT on the previous screen
Message no. F2143 " very few information
I think the proble is due that I am entering the same a new vat registration number for the same country key. Indeed if I fill a vat registration with different country key and works!

Something interesting with check rule for VAT registration no.

Hi Guys,
I found something weird in sap with check rule for VAT registration no.
If I set any of check rules for US and save(tcode oy17), then change the country of a customer from DE to US and save(not change the VAT registration no), the system post error messages "ISO code DE is not correct in the VAT registration number". But if I set rule for AU(australia) with same rule as US, and change the customer's country from DE to AU(not change the VAT no), no error happens and customer can be saved successfully. So anybody can give any explanation on this problem?
Thanks in advance, point will be rewared. Waiting for the comments.
Regards,
Alex

ISO code LU is not correct in the VAT registration number

HI,
Can a France customer have the Luxembourgish VAT registration number. If Yes. how can i configure this?

Reason can be due to,
The length of the VAT number, which is important for this check,
is stored in field UINLN.

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.

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.

VAT Registration Number-Spain

Dear All
We have the the following Configuration for the SPAIN Country.
ISO Code: ES
Country Specfic Check:
VAT registration no : Lenth = 11 & Checking Rule is 3=Length to be kept to exactly, without gaps
but when we create the Customer master data , we are entering the VAT Number = ES123456789
System is not accepting the same & displying the error message VAT Number is Invalid.
while on the other side,in IDES system is accepting the same.
Kindlt Advise

Please try to uncheck ' Other data' on Country - specific checks of Spain (ES).
Normally 'Other data' enables a check digit process in the program. This has some limitations with the 3rd / 11th character in Spain VAT Registration no.
Let me know if the info was helpful.

VAT Registration NO change

Hi all,
We have a requirement to change VAT registration no. to allow 12 character length (instead of current 11). Belgium changed their VAT # system in 2005. i changed confing via path: SPRO > IMG>General settings>Set countries>Set country-specific checks i specified 12 instead of 11.
when i go to change VAT Registration no in vandor master(xk02) under control data tab i specified 12 digit VAT no.the movement when i save i am getting following error message.
Enter long tax number in tax code field 1
Message no. AR 213
Please advice if i am missing any settings other than this path.
Regards,
JAYA

Hi, are you certain that you changed the field V_005_B-UINLN in TA OY17 for country BE and saved the change?
If so then exit the TA XK02 and enter the TA again.
My guess is that you are logged on in another langauge that english (or german)!
Some of the translations from english to local langauges in the IMG are "funny" and the VAT registration nummer is in Denmark instance called CVR number, Tax number 1 is called CVR number 1 and Tax number 2 is called CVR number 2
