Cause

For the Customer's Tax Registration:

Under the Financial Data tab of the account, you have maintained the Tax Type as DNI Number for an account in Spain.

CIF (Certificado de Identificación Fiscal) and NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal) are tax identification numbers used in Spain but serve different entities. CIF is for businesses and legal entities, while NIF is for individuals.

If you are using a private account and performing domestic sales, then NIF tax number will be retrieved to the Customer Invoice.

If you are using a corporate account, then CIF tax number will be displayed in the Customer Invoice.

For the Seller's Tax Registration:

You maintained the Tax Number Type NIF Number in the Company Tax Arrangements.

Since this is a Company, the Tax Number Type and Tax Number cannot be determined.

Resolution

This is the expected behavior.

Please maintain Tax Type NIF for private account or CIF for corporate accounts based in Spain in you Account Master Data for the determination of the Customer's Tax Registration.

Please maintain the CIF Number in your Company Tax Arrangements to determine the Seller's Tax Registration.
