With XVAT you validate VAT identification numbers where your master data and documents live — in SAP ECC and S/4HANA. Checks run directly via official tax authorities and cover all EU countries — including traffic-light popup, mass checks, check log and controllable effects on sales and billing.
VAT ID checks run where master data, sales and posting come together.
XVAT is the SAP-certified add-on for automatic, process-integrated VAT ID checks — from master data maintenance to billing, with compliance logic, whitelist, hold list, optional country add-ons and the Fiori extension for business partner maintenance.
Intra-Community supplies and services involve partners across Europe. That is why XVAT validates VAT IDs not only locally, but EU-wide — directly in your SAP processes.
Customers, vendors, business partners, sales, delivery, billing and FI — XVAT runs where VAT IDs are created or changed.
Directly via Germany’s Federal Central Tax Office, Austria’s Ministry of Finance and the European Commission — including a traffic-light popup for name, city and address.
Whitelist, check interval, hold list on service outage and configurable reactions (warning, delivery block, billing stop).
The RISE with SAP certification underlines future-readiness in the S/4HANA landscape.
From formal pre-check to documented check log — focused on official tax authorities and SAP process integration across the EU.
Master-data change, sales document, delivery, billing or mass check starts validation — RFC-ready for external systems too.
First SAP standard formal check, then live query to the official tax authorities — current and free against the authority service.
Popup with field-level traffic lights (name, city, address). Control parameters steer warning, block or billing stop.
Every case lands in the check log. On service outage the hold list applies — recheck via the mass-check program.
In the SAP landscape, integration, reliability and future-readiness matter. Xaption has supported companies reliably and long-term since 2003 across SAP processes.
The solution is officially listed by SAP as a certified solution and strengthens trust in SAP-related transformation scenarios.
XVAT addresses exclusively companies with an existing SAP foundation — from midmarket to enterprise, from ERP 6.0 onwards.
When Intra-Community supplies across the EU should remain VAT-exempt, an end-to-end check chain in SAP improves transparency and auditability.
An excerpt from our customer list:
Common questions about VAT ID validation, authority services and implementation in SAP ECC or S/4HANA.
Intra-Community supplies and services are exempt from domestic VAT only if the recipient’s VAT ID is valid. Regular checks reduce tax-audit risk and liability for incorrectly issued invoices.
Checks run directly via official tax authorities: Germany’s Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt), Austria’s Ministry of Finance via FinanzOnline, and the European Commission via VIES — for businesses in all EU countries, optionally with secondary checks.
