Setting Up a UDC for EU VAT ID Validation
Before you validate VAT identification numbers for EU member countries, you must set up the VIES Validation UDC table (74/VV) to activate validation of VAT identification numbers in the VIES.
To set up the VIES Validation UDC table:
Enter the country code in the Codes field if that country code is not already set up in the Codes column. This code identifies the EU member country within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system.
Enter the name of the country in the Description 01 field. You can leave a country code field blank to set up a default country code. The country code should be the same as the country code set up in the 00/CN UDC table and can consist of three characters.
Enter the two-digit country code defined by the government in the Description 02 field. To set up a default country, leave the Country Code field blank and enter the two-digit country code in the Description 02 field. For example, if you want to use Denmark as the default country, enter DK (the two-digit government code for Denmark) in the Description 02 field.
Enter 1 in the Special Handling Code field for a country to activate VIES VAT identification number validation for that country.
Clear the1 in the Special Handling Code field for a country to deactivate VIES VAT identification number validation for that country.
