Wrong VAT Registration No. in invoice to customer

Dear experts,

We have a company in country CZ that sells goods to customers not only in CZ but also in SK.

Now when an invoice goes to a customer in SK the "VAT registration number" of "company CZ" is on there which is incorrect.

On the invoice there should be the "VAT registration number" of SK.

I saw that in OBY6 one is able to maintain the "VAT Registration number" on Company Code level:

I found 2 company codes, one for CZ and one for SK. Both company codes are maintained, also the "VAT Reg. number".

So how come I do not have the SK "VAT Reg. number" on invoices to SK customers?

Where does SAP decide which VAT Registration number to put on the customer's invoice?

Does it start when a Sales Order comes in?

Thank you for your help with this,

Peter

Can you please reconfirm your statement that you want VAT registration number of buyer in SK ??  From your comments, it seems, you were expecting the system to pick delivering plant's VAT number.

If you want the system to pick the VAT registration number from seller in CZ, system will consider whatever you maintained in the delivering plant.  On the other hand, if you want the system to pick from buyer in SK, then check what you have maintained in the respective customer master.

Hello G. Lakshmipathi,

In the invoice that goes to the SK customer I need the VAT number of our SK seller.

The delivering plant is always CZ.

But I need the VAT number of the SK seller on the invoice.

If you want the system to pick the VAT registration number from seller in CZ, system will consider whatever you maintained in the delivering plant.

No, I want the VAT registration number from seller in SK. But there is no delivering plant for that.

Is there a way to get the VAT number of the seller in SK into the invoice (without using delivery plant)?

In the meantime I will read the notes now recommended before.

Thank you again,

Peter

Hello G. Lakshmipathi,

I just read this blog and the last answer http://scn.sap.com/thread/2134210

points out that the VAT number of the seller and customer needs to be printed on an invoice.

There is my problem: no matter if the invoice goes to customer in CZ or SK - always the VAT number of seller in CZ is on the invoice. But if the invoice goes to SK customer the VAT number of SK seller should be on the invoice.

Best regarsd,

Peter

Then ask your ABAP programer to add the required logic in the invoice print program.

Hello Peter,

the system takes the VAT reg.number of Payer or Sold-to party or Ship-to party depending on setting of custromizing field  TVKO-XSTCEG.

If F1 help is very detailed.

Once decided from which partner pick up the VAT reg.number, the system takes the one relevant for the ship-to party country.

If the ship-to party is in SK, then system should pick SK VAT reg.number.

If you have debug capacity, please check in program LV60AA95, after the comment

Hello Ivano,

It was now decided to look for a proper customizing solution but that is not my responsibility anymore. I mainly work with SAP PI and do not know much about customizing. I will update my question once we have the solution. thank you and best regards,

Hello Ivano,

Finally it was now decided to not customize anything but to set the necessary VAT number in the mapping on PI depending on the country of the sold-to-party. Apparently for country SK the company code is not in use and any customization would use the company code as a basis.

Thank you everyone for your help,

Peter
