In order to receive the consultation number from VIES, it is necessary to include the VAT Number of the requesting company in the request.

The error comes if the requesting company's VAT Number has an invalid format.

The Requesting company VAT Number can be maintained in the customizing SSCUI 105630 - Online Validation -> Maintain VIES specific parameters screen.
Country-specific prefix allways has to be added. For example the VAT Number format for Spain should be maintained in the SSCUI 105630 as: ESXXXXXXXXX .

The value in the SSCUI is used for adding to VIES requests only, other system functions will not be affected.
