Hello,
I'd be very grateful if someone could make the determination of the VAT number 100% clear.
From SAP help in table V_TVKO_TAX regarding field XSTCEG:
"If 'A' is set, then the tax number and the tax classification are
generally taken from the sold-to party.
The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of destination'.
If 'B' is set, then the tax number and the tax classification are
generally taken from the payer.
The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of destination'."
What does "generally" mean in this context?
I am confronted with a configuration where it is set to A for the respective sales org but the following happens:
If sold-to and ship-to are in the same country it takes the VAT ID of the sold-to. If they are not in the same country it takes the VAT ID of the ship-to. FYI, the business happens only between EU countries.
I am not sure if this is intuitive to my fellow SD-ers but it isn't to me. I'd like to see the legal EU VAT documentation for this behaviour. Any hint would be appreciated.
Now my real question is, how can I force the system to always pick the VAT ID of the sold-to?
Thanks much in advance.
