Configuration

In order to activate VIES validation, you must set this option in your company: Settings > Companies > Your Company > VIES VAT Check

Usage

When VIES VAT Check is activated:

• Odoo will try to validate VAT against VIES online service

• If passed, then “VIES validation passed” field will be True

• If not passed, then try to validate using country validation method

• If validated, then “VIES validation passed” field will be False

• If not validated, then a ValidationError will be shown to user

When VIES VAT Check is not activated:

• “VIES validation passed” field will be always False

You must prefix VAT with country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) and if you want to bypass country validation you can use “EU” code
