3440969 - The field VAT Registration No. is empty in the billing document header detail

Symptom

The field VAT Registration No. is empty in the billing document header detail although it is maintained in business partner.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA CLOUD

Cause

This is the standard behavior.

The VAT registration number is used within the EU for tax-exempt deliveries for the "EC sales list". The check rules are defined for each EU country and can not be changed.

Resolution

EU VAT Number is only relevant for EU countries. Currently, only EU VAT ID is supported, as it can differ based on tax destination country and is stable (assigned by VIES).

For all other countries, it is needed to check the sold-to party business partner data for the tax number.
