Tax ID Validation for Belgium

A tax ID is the identification number that you use when you report information to the various tax authorities. For every transaction that can occur with a company, a customer, or a supplier, you must enter an associated tax identification number. Tax IDs are also called VAT codes, VAT registration numbers, or fiscal codes.

When you create an address book record for each company, customer, or supplier, enter the tax ID number in the Tax ID field on the Address Book Revision form. To ensure that the tax ID that you enter is checked for authenticity, enter a country code from the Country Codes (00/CN) UDC table in the Country field on the Mailing tab on the Address Book Revision form. When a country code exists in this field, the system validates tax IDs for that country. Additionally, the country code that you specify in the Country Code field must exist in the Tax ID Validation (70/TI) UDC table.
