Swiss VAT not defined in base_vat module

[forstera]

the module base_vat has a function to check the validity of the VAT number depending of the country. The default check function controls the followings statements : def default_vat_check(self, cn, vn):
            # by default, a VAT number is valid if:
            # it starts with 2 letters
            # has more than 3 characters

The Swiss VAT has no letters and is only made by 6 numbers. We could had a new check_vat_ch to allow only 6 numbers, without characters in the first 2 places.

I think the first two letters are always CH ?
The first two letters give the country code in all countries.

Hello Fabien,

Thank you for your inquiry. In Switzerland, the VAT number is in the
form "nnn nnn" without any letter, only numbers.
Hope this help

Meilleures salutations.

I also think the same, we are not talking about the same field. Here is
the legal VAT validation service:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do

You can see that: all vat numbers start with the two letters of the
country code. Switzerland is not in the list of countries. I think it's
another field to be added for CH use ?

Thanks,
Fabien

Sorry, but I'm not sure it is a good idea to add a new field => I will check
with nicolas if we can change the validation for the swiss and have the same
field.

I will add an entry in base_vat for Switzerland. For v 5 and 6.

I also think it may be a good Idea in v 6.0 to add a check box on country form that will allows to activate deactivate vat validation for a given country with a default that is set to True.
