Validation of foreign VAT number for Odoo

This module allows german companies to validate VAT numbers of eu member states with the api (eVatR) of the German Federal Ministry of Finance.

Info: Jump to german description
Info: Your company has to have a german VAT number configured to use this check.
Warning: This check only works for non german VAT numbers of eu member states.

Setting your company VAT

Navigate to the Settings → Users & Companies → "Your Company" and set your german VAT.

The entering of your correct German UStr-IdNr. is a prerequisite for the check.

Configure VAT check

Navigate to the General Settings → Accounting. Here you can configure with which method you want to check your VAT numbers. This module adds the eVatR method and can be configured to use one of two modes. Simple checks only the VAT number, extended checks additionally the company name, city and zip.

In the settings of the finance module you can activate the additional VAT ID check and set whether a simple or extended check should take place.

Checking and Documentation

After the module has been configured, a check is performed and documented in the message history when the following data is changed:

  • when creating a contact
  • for each change of the VAT ID
  • for the change of the company name
  • for the change of address (city and/or zip code)
Errors in the VAT ID check are displayed and must be resolved before the contact can be saved.
The USt-IdNr. is correct but not all details match.
The VAT ID number is correct and all the details match.

Verification on sales and procurement orders

The module contains two additional modules, one for sales orders and the other for purchase orders. They ensure that when a sales or purchase order is confirmed, the VAT ID of the partner is checked again in accordance with German law and documented for the respective object.

Check the VAT ID when confirming the sale order.
Check the VAT ID when confirming the purchase order.

USt-IdNr. - Check für Deutschland

Dieses Modul ermöglicht deutschen Unternehmen die Validierung von USt-IdNr. von EU-Mitgliedsstaaten mit der Schnittstelle (eVatR) des deutschen Bundeszentralamt für Steuern.

Info: Ihr Unternehmen muss eine deutsche USt-IdNr. konfiguriert haben, um diese Prüfung zu verwenden.
Warning: Diese Prüfung funktioniert nur für nicht-deutsche USt-IdNr. von EU-Mitgliedsstaaten.

USt-IdNr. konfigurieren

Navigieren Sie zu den Einstellungen → Benutzer & Firmen → "Ihre Firma" und stellen Sie Ihre deutsche UStr-IdNr. ein.

Das Einpflegen Ihrer korrekten deutschen UStr-IdNr. ist eine Vorraussetzung für die Überprüfung.

USt-IdNr. Check konfigurieren

Navigieren Sie zu den Allgemeinen Einstellungen → Finanzen. Hier können Sie konfigurieren, mit welcher Methode Sie die USt-IdNr. überprüfen wollen. Dieses Modul fügt die eVatR-Methode hinzu und kann so konfiguriert werden, dass es einen von zwei Modi verwendet. Bei der einfachen Methode wird nur die USt-IdNr. geprüft, bei der erweiterten Methode zusätzlich der Firmenname, der Ort und die Postleitzahl.

In den Einstellungen des Finanzmoduls können Sie die zusätzliche USt-IdNr. Prüfung aktivieren sowie einstellen, ob eine einfache oder erweiterte Prüfung stattfinden soll.

Prüfung und Dokumentation

Nach der Konfiguration des Moduls wird bei der Änderung folgender Daten eine Prüfung durchgeführt und in der Nachrichtenhistorie dokumentiert:

  • beim Anlegen eines Kontaktes
  • bei jeder Änderung der USt-IdNr.
  • bei der Änderung des Firmennamens
  • bei der Änderung der Anschrift (Ort und/oder Postleitzahl)
Fehler bei der USt-IdNr. Prüfung werden angezeigt und müssen behoben werden, bevor der Kontakt gespeichert werden kann.
Die USt-IdNr. ist korrekt aber es stimmen nicht alle Daten überein.
Die USt-IdNr. ist korrekt und alle Daten stimmen überein.

Prüfung bei Verkaufs- und Beschaffungsaufträgen

Bei der Bestätigung eines Verkaufs- bzw. Beschaffungsauftrags wird entsprechend dem deutschen Recht noch mal eine Prüfung der USt-IdNr. des Partners stattfinden und am jeweiligen Objekt dokumentiert.
