VATreg. no. for customer in country is not maintained Message no F5283

[helen_cagney]

An invoice Idoc coming from an interface into SAP issued the above error in t-code WE02 status 51. I simulated a similar posting in FB01 but got a different error 'Document contains VAT reg no but no EC relevant tax code' so i maintained a value in Field EU Code/Code, simulated the posting again and that error F547 resolved. When i reprocessed the Idoc in WE19, Message no EA709 was issued 'Idoc no was passed to application. I checked new Idoc number in WE02 and error was same as previous Idoc.

Please help and if you need more information let me know.

Thanks,

Helen

Hi,

Check if the VAT number is maintained for the destination country in master data of customer.
