Symptom
In a scenario where Bill-to and Ship-to addresses are different from the Account's, the Customer's Tax Registration number is not the one expected.
The Ship-to and Bill-to Address is from country B and the Account is from country A.
You want the Customer's Tax Registration Number to reflect Country B but Country A is retrieved (A and B stands for the respective countries' names).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
