VAT Registration No. Formats
VAT registration number is the unique number that identifies a taxable person (business) or non-taxable legal entity that is registered for VAT.
You can ask a customer to enter the VAT registration number, when:
-
A customer registers in a Sana webshop.
-
A customer creates an order as a guest without registration.
-
A sales agent creates a prospect.
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can set up VAT registration number formats to ensure that a number entered by a customer corresponds to the standard format used in a customer's country. VAT registration number is validated in a Sana webshop based on the format set in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Set Up VAT Registration No. Format
Step 1: In Microsoft Dynamics NAV click: Administration > Application Setup > General > Lists > Countries / Regions.
Step 2: Select a country and at the top click: Related Information > Country / Region > VAT Reg. No. Formats.
Step 3: Specify VAT registration number format for a country. Several formats can be added to each country.
The following symbols can be used to specify VAT registration number format for a country:
-
# - only a digit can be entered
-
@ - only a letter can be entered (a-z or A-Z)
-
? - any character can be entered
You can use characters other than those listed above, if the characters are always present in a country's / region's VAT registration number.
For example, a period after each group of four digits must be entered as follows: ####.####.####.
