Instead you will be able to enter a Personal identity number for the customer. Prices on all documents and price lists sent to the customer will be shown including VAT.

Under the Alternative delivery addresses button, you can mark Exception VAT reg. no. and enter a VAT registration number for the alternative delivery address. This VAT registration number will then override the VAT registration number on the customer.

By using the VIES validation button you can check the VAT registration number with VIES (VAT Information Exchange System). VIES is an electronic mean of validating VAT registration numbers of economic operators registered in the European Union for cross border transactions on goods or services. There you get the answer if the number is valid or not. Depending on the national rules on data protection, some countries will also provide the name and address linked to the given VAT number as they are recorded in the national databases. The system also keeps a log over the checks/validations made, and the returned results.

If a VAT number is shown as invalid, you should in the first instance check with the company in question to make sure the number is correct (correct number of characters, correct length and country prefix). If the number, even after checking, continues to be "invalid", you should ask that company to contact his/her tax administration to request that the data in the national VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) be updated (only national tax administrations can update VIES data).

If your own company information is incorrect or out of date, you should contact your tax administration and ask them to correct the information. Keep in mind that some member states/Northern Ireland, require that such requests of updates must be made in writing or via a web form.

Some member states/Northern Ireland require a separate VAT registration for intra-EU transactions (and Northern Ireland) regarding goods and services and only record such VAT numbers in their national databases. Therefore, it is possible that a VAT number, even if correct, will not be validated through VIES, because the owner of that VAT number is not involved in intra-EU transactions (and Northern Ireland) or did not register for such sales.

EORI number

Here you enter the company’s EORI number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification). You use the EORI number for all customs related business within the EU. In the Document templates procedure you can add the EORI number in the document component Header – Sales.

It is possible to validate your entered EORI number in relation to the database available with the European Commission. This is done by clicking the EORI number not validated button and then the Validate EORI button . After you have validated the EORI number, the information about the company is loaded to the window and you can see if the EORI number is valid or not. The button will be changed to if the EORI number is valid. Regardless if the EORI number is valid or not, you can in the tooltip belonging to the button see when the number was most recently validated and by whom.

EORI-numbers that start with GB are checked against the database administered by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

Parent company (customer)

A customer can have a Parent company (customer). This parent company can also have a parent company, so there can be many levels in the relationships between customers. If you register a blanket order for a parent company, related customers (subsidiaries) will be able to register customer orders calling off the blanket order.

This field can be updated in the Customer list, list type Standard, presentation Miscellaneous.

Forward rate

The setting Forward rate only applies if the customer has a currency other than the company currency. If that is the case, you can check this setting if new customer orders for the customer by default should have the corresponding setting Forward rate activated. Then you get to enter the forward rate that should apply, on each new order. The forward rate entered for an order also applies during invoicing.

Stray customer

"Stray customer A customer which only makes an occasional purchase. "Stray customer" is a customer number that is used for different customers for one-time sales (non-recurring). Therefor these customers do not have to be registered in the customer register." is a customer number that is used for different customers for one-time sales (non-recurring). Therefore, these customers do not have to be registered in the customer register. If the setting Stray customer has been checked it means that printouts of reminders, if any, for that customer number will be divided per invoice and will not be gathered to a single reminder. That way, you can separate the reminder printouts for the different physical customers.

For stray customers (occasional customers), the e-mail address entered in the invoice header will always be used when sending invoices via e-mail. The e-mail address from the Customer register is never used, regardless of how the setting Recipient of invoice via e-mail is loaded from is configured.

Use VAT registration number from customer number, invoice

In the system it is possible to use the function Customer number, invoice. This means that you have two different customer numbers involved in the sales flow. On one hand, you have the customer number on which the order was registered and on the other hand you have the customer number that is used on the invoice, that is, the customer number that will receive the invoice. This setting will be marked by default when you have entered a customer number, invoice. EC sales list and Intrastat Intrastat is the system which gathers statistics relating to trade in products within the European Union. Gathering of Intrastat statistics is handled in the same way by all EU member states. export will then load the VAT registration number from the customer entered under Customer number, invoice. This also means that it is the invoice customer’s VAT registration number which is shown on the customer invoice document and which is recorded in the EC sales list and the Intrastat report.

Customer no., VAT agent

This field can be applied when using EDI EDI is the acronym of Electronic Data Interchange. EDI is about exchanging electronic business documents with your business partners, e.g. customers and suppliers. The EDI concept can be wide and a bit unclear, and can many times be used about all types of documents which are sent electronically, even if it might be PDF files sent via e-mail or publishing business documents on a website. What we refer to as EDI – and what is traditionally meant by EDI – is structured business documents following given standards, electronically sent or received and which are compiled and interpreted automatically and that is integrated with the customer's/supplier's ERP system.. Here you can select if another customer will act as VAT agent. The VAT agent is included in the EDI export format for customer invoice.

Multiple orders via e-mail

Determines whether multiple order confirmations should be attached to a single e-mail or whether each order confirmation should be sent in a separate e-mail.

You use the system setting called Maximum size for files in e-mail to determine the allowed size of these attachments. If the attached files in one e-mail message are bigger than the entered size in MB in the system setting, the e-mail message and the attached files will be split into two or more e-mails. The default size is 10 MB.

Multiple invoices in e-mail

Determines whether invoices should be attached to a single e-mail or whether each invoice should be sent in a separate e-mail.
