Tax ID Validation (70/TI)

To validate tax identification numbers that you set up in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system according to the country in which it is used, you must set up the country codes in UDC 70/TI.

This table displays examples of country codes set up in UDC 70/TI:

To activate tax ID validation for a specific country code, enter 1 in the Special Handling field for that country code. To disable tax ID validation for a specific country code, remove the 1 from the Special Handling field.

To activate tax ID validation for a country code that is not listed in UDC table (70/TI) or to change the meaning of an existing country code, complete the fields as:

  1. Enter the country code in the Codes field.

    The country code must also be set up in the Country Codes (00/CN) UDC table.

  2. Enter the standard two-digit ISO code for that country in the Description 02 field.

    The two-digit ISO code is required in the Description 02 field to cross-reference the new country code with the country code that is hard-coded in the system.

    For example, if you use DE for Denmark, enter DN (the two-digit ISO code for Denmark) in the Description 02 field for the DE country code. The system then validates tax IDs that are entered with the country code DE according to Danish, not German, specifications.

  3. Enter 1 in the Special Handling field.

To activate tax ID validation for the default (blank) country code, complete the fields as described, but leave the Codes field blank.

For example, if you use a blank country code to mean Denmark, enter DN (the two (2) digit ISO code for Denmark) in the Description 02 field for the blank country code.
