VAT Data entry in Customer Master

[Former Member]

Gurus,

When I enter a VAT Number during Customer creation in the General Data in the Control Data tab page, I get the following Error message -

ISO code 29 is not correct in the VAT registration number -

Message no. AR191

Diagnosis

The first 2 characters of the VAT registration number do not correspond to the country's ISO code.

Procedure

Check the entry.

If necessary, check whether the ISO code of the country has been defined correctly.

How can I find the ISO Code of the country ?

Dear Vaidee

To my knowledge, whatever numeric value you are giving in customer master for VAT registration, system should accept. Anyway, please note that ISO code is nothing but Country Key in customer master.

As per the above error message, I feel, you have to maintain the first two letters of the buyers' country. For example, if the buyer is in India, try with maintaining INXXXXXXXXX

thanks

Dear Lakshmipathi

I tried as per your suggestion "INxxxxxxxxx", but getting the error message as "A numeric entry is expected in field VAT Reg.No."

Hi,

You can pass BUKRS to Table T001 and fetch the country code, the field name is LAND1.

BUKRS is company code.

Thanks,

Raja
