SAP Note 19735 - Bill.EU one-time accounts w/o VAT registrat. no.

Symptom:

Key word: VF01, VF02, VF22, billing document

If you create a billing document for a one-time customer who is in the other EU member states, this is done without a VAT resgistation number specification. From a legal viewpoint, this result is incorrect because taxes on sales/purchases is to be paid if you deliver to EU member states without VAT registration number.

Cause and prerequisites

If you create an order, you cannot enter the VAT resgistration number for a one-time customer.

Solution

Preliminary correction: Post the billing documents without VAT registration number in Financial Accounting and then subsequently enter the VAT registration number in the FI document (Change FI document).

Note: If you by mistake forget to subsequently enter the VAT registration number, the EU sales list (report RFASLM00) issues a corresponding message (spool error list).
