Request Identifier #
A second group on the Advanced sub-tab stores the VIES “request identifier” proof-of-consultation code:
- Request identifier (
alg_wc_eu_vat_request_identifier): fetch and store the identifier code with each validation. - Requester country code (
alg_wc_eu_vat_requester_country_code) and Requester VAT number (alg_wc_eu_vat_requester_vat_number): your own VAT details, used as the requesting party in the VIES call.
