Problems creating invoice from order (DI API and SBO)

Question

Hello all!
I´m getting various tax problems using the following code to automatically create invoices from existing orders.
For Each currentKey In arrABEntrys
  objInv = objCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices)
  objAB.GetByKey(currentKey)
  objInv.CardCode = objAB.CardCode
  With objInv.Lines
    .BaseType = SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders
    .BaseEntry = currentKey
    .BaseLine = 0
    For i = 1 To objAB.Lines.Count - 1
      objInv.Lines.Add()
      BaseType = SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders
      .BaseEntry = currentKey
      .BaseLine = i
    Next
  End With
If objInv.Add() = 0 Then
Else
End if
The result of objInv.add() was first "5002 - 'Tax Definition (1)' (a very informative message to me).
Then I checked my admin tax settings and put a check on "EU".
The next time the result was "10 - Customer´s tax ID not defined OINV.LicTradNum"
Actually, I don´t want to pre-set any fields in the invoice, because the order looks complete to me.
By the way: The error occurs in SBO, too.
Thanks for help in advance!
Best regards
Marian

Hi Marian,
Your Error "10 - Customer´s tax ID not defined OINV.LicTradNum" is not working (through DI and in SBO)
occurs because your "Federal Tax ID" is not set up against the Business Partner. (This is on the main page of the Business Master Data Screen).
Set this up and it will work in SBO and the DI API!
