Why was my VAT number not accepted by the ordering form?
VAT numbers are automatically checked against the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) of the European Commission. VIES is a search engine querying national Chamber of Commerce databases to verify whether a VAT number is valid. VIES is still under development and together with its dependence on local, off-site databases means that it often does not function as expected. To circumvent this problem, the VIES check is performed manually for the time being without interrupting the quotation/ordering process.
