As before, the VAT Registration No. is validated when a number is entered for Customers, Vendors and Contacts. However, it is no longer necessary to fill in the Country/Region Code first. Furthermore, the VAT Registration No. Formats, which can be set up by default in Business Central via the Countries/Regions page, are ignored by the FinanzOnline validation resp. are irrelevant for the FinanzOnline validation.
For more information, see Setup, VAT Reg. No. Prefixes.
If the VAT Registration No. has already been entered, the AssistEdit button of the VAT Registration No. field can be used to open the VAT Registration Log page where the validation can be repeated at any time.
Fields
The following fields are available for Customers, Vendors and Contacts.
FON VAT Reg. No. Status
Specifies the fields Status / Details Status and (Date) of the last or most recent FinanzOnline (FON) validation.
Note
The following applies to the date:
The data for a valid VAT Registration No. may only be requested twice a day via the FinanzOnline service. If the request is successful, this data is stored and used for further validations on that day. The date indicates when the data was retrieved from the FinanzOnline.
For more information, see Archive, Validation Data.
FON Validation Rule
Specifies whether a special rule should be used to validate the details resp. the address data. The details resp. the address data are only verified during a level 2 validation.
Note
Rules specified here in the master data override rules specified for the VAT Reg. No. Prefix.
When a rule is selected, the VAT Registration No. will be validated in the same way as when a VAT Registration No. is entered.
Important
If the settings of a rule are changed, this does not immediately affect the master data. The changes only take effect after a new validation (e.g. a batch validation).
After the validation has been completed, the deviations are displayed in the Validation Details page. The determined address data can be accepted here and transferred to the master data by closing the page.
VAT Registration Log
The VAT Registration Log page logs all validations of the master data.
The current VAT Registration No. for the account can be verified at any time via the Verify VAT Registration No. action.
