Working with VAT Reg. No. Validation


2024/01/16 • 3 min. to read
On the following page you will learn how to use NCVV VAT Reg. No. Validation to check your vendor/customer master for valid VAT Registration Numbers. The NCVV VAT Reg. No. Validation extension adds new fields to the following pages:
  • Customer Card
  • Customer
  • Vendor Card
  • Vendors
  • Contact Card
  • Contacts

Fields

NCVV Last VAT Reg. No. ValidationShows the date of the last VAT number validation via FinanzOnline.
NCVV VAT Reg. No. Validation StatusShows the status of the last VAT Registration No. Validation. Possible values:
  • Not Verified - the validation of the VAT Reg. No. has failed. This may occur due to maintenance work in FinanzOnline (FON) or due to a broken network connection.
  • Valid - the VAT Reg. No. of the business partner has been checked and reported as valid.
  • Invalid - the VAT Reg. No. of the business partner has been checked and reported as invalid.

Note

This status relates to the VAT ID no. and not to the master data. This means that the master data in Business Central does not have to be consistent with the reported values. On the VAT Registration Log page, the Status Details field provides information on whether the master data is consistent. You can access the page via the AssistEdit function, the 3 dots at the end of the VAT Registration No. field. Only the status Valid shows that your master data matches that in FinanzOnline!

Performing the VAT Registration No. Validation

The validation of the VAT registration number is processed by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF). As additional information you can show in the Validation Log the reported raw data in the infobox NCVV FON Address Data. This data is also stored in the Databox of FinanzOnline. This gives you the basis for proving that the VAT registration number has been checked.

Note

The confirmation as proof of the successful query of the validity of a VAT Registration Number will be sent to the FinanzOnline databox on the following day. A separate confirmation is issued for each requesting VAT Reg. No. The printed confirmation is considered a proof and must be kept in compliance with § 132 BAO!

Validation of the Reported Data

If you change the VAT Registration No. of a business partner, i.e. a vendor/customer/contact, you can use the AssistEdit function with the 3 dots at the end of the VAT Registration No. field to open the VAT Registration Log page and view the status of the last validation. Via the action Validation Details you get to the page Validation Detail, here the existing data from the master data in Business Central are compared with the reported data from FinanzOnline. If there are differences, they will be listed on the page (see image below). The extension NCVV VAT Registration No. Validation helps you to keep your master data up to date. You can use the action Accept to accept a single value and Accept All to accept the entire record into the master data.

Important

It may happen that the service of FinanzOnline is currently unavailable due to maintenance work. In this case, try to perform the validation later.
