What is the standard field in CRM to store the VAT number from ECC

Question

Dear gurus,
I am trying to find if we have "VAT number" as standard field in CRM. I tried finding in CRM but could not find.
The requirement is to bring the "VAT number" data from ECC to CRM.
So if there is any corresponding CRM field to store that then it would be easy. Please let me know if you know of this field in CRM. Thanks for your help in advance.
thanks,
Randhir

Hello Randhir,
In CRM, there is no seperated field to store VAT numbers like in ECC. In CRM, we have a table control TAX NUMBERS on business partners -> identification tab which stores tax numbers.
Below is the way how the tax number flow and work in ECC and CRM for a sample country IT.
In ECC -
On customer master , you will see fields such as VAT reg. number, TAx number1, tax number 2 and so on. Thus when you create a customer for country IT, you enter the required tax numbers.
In CRM -
you enter tax numbers on the identification tab. here we dont find different fields, but there are different tax types introduced for each country. Thus for VAT numbers, the tax type is IT0. This tax type is always of the format - <country ISO code>'0'. Thus for DE we have DE0. The concept of tax type is not there in ECC.
The tax number transfers from ECC to CRM automatically assign a tax type depending on the country and field. And this functionality is available in all CRM systems.
In CRM. tax numbers are stored in table DFKKBPTAXNUM.
Hope this information is helpful.
