Issue with VAT ID in Vendor Master

[Former Member]

Hi All,

While creating Vendor Master ,system is not accepting VAT ID:

Error message is "VAT registration number contains invalid characters"

Input VAT ID :GB0109413534

Vendor Country : GB (United Kingdom)

I checked country settings also:

VAT registration no. 14 1 Maximum value length, without gaps

I am inputting 12 characters only ,without any gaps.

Please guide .

Dear Payal,

This GB tax code is not valid. Please check the following website:

http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

if you still need to save the vendor with this Vat reg number, you should unflag the GB settings in order to not check the validity of the vat registration numbers.

or vendor, can provide the correct vat registration number.

I hope it helps

In Country Setting in transaction OY17, please check that the "Other Data" check box is not selected.

If it is selected, than SAP do a VAT code sanity check.
