Taxpayer ID Validation
Payables provides for Italy and Spain the following country-specific validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number, also known as the NIF. If you have defined either Italy or Spain as your "Home Country" in the Member State field of the Financials Options window, and your home country is the same as your Default Country profile option, then Payables validates the Taxpayer Identification Number you enter based on the rules of your home country. If the Member State value in the Financials Options window and Default Country profile option are different, Payables performs no validation.
