VAT Report in 3 countries for same company code

Hi All

My company (1 company code) has VAT registration in Malaysia, France and Germany, we have created tax code for these 3 companies, but we wont be able to use the standard VAT report for Germany, France and Malaysia as we are 3 in 1.

We read that we may need to activate Plant Abroad function in SAP so that we can use the standard VAT report and also the standard intrastat report.

Appreciate if somebody can help us clarify if this is true, otherwise what should be the steps. Thanks.
