With this module, when a user tries to validate a customer invoice or refund with a fiscal position that requires VAT, Odoo blocks the validation of the invoice if the customer doesn’t have a VAT number in Odoo.
In the European Union (EU), when an EU company sends an invoice to another EU company in another country, it can invoice without VAT (most of the time) but the VAT number of the customer must be displayed on the invoice.
Table of contents
To configure this module, go to the menu Invoicing > Configuration > Accounting > Fiscal Positions and enable the option VAT Required on the relevant fiscal positions.
On the partner form view, Odoo will display a yellow warning banner when the partner has a fiscal position that has the option VAT Required but its VAT number is not set.
