Field help (EVCVAL)

Note: This field is only available if a web service is identified in the EVCSERVICE – Webservice for EU VAT ID parameter (CPT chapter, VAT group) and the sender's EU VAT ID is set in the EVCCOMPANY—EU VAT ID source company parameter (CPT chapter, VAT group)

Click the Validation action to interactively validate your EU VAT ID.

A message box displays with the validation results. The exact content varies by check result and web service used.

• If the validation was successful, you receive a confirmation message and the Validation check box is selected.
• For an unsuccessful validation, you receive a message that displays the reason for the failed validation.
• If no full validation could be performed (for example, if only the VAT ID was validated and not the address), you have the option to accept the results as valid or not. If you select Yes, the Validation check box is selected.

Note: Successful validation results are stored in a table.

If a previously-validated VAT ID is modified, the Validation check box is cleared.

Validation levels:

A Qualified validation verifies the EU VAT ID and company name and address. All data must be valid.

An Unqualified or simple validation only verifies the EU VAT ID. Note that the EU validation web service performs only unqualified validations.

Address management:

Results are recorded with the original address code.

For the main EU VAT ID, the standard company address is used.

You can manually revalidate IDs using the EU VAT ID revalidation function (EVCBAT).
