2. If it is an EU country, review the field which indicates the EU country code and the Intrastat code. The country code should not be entered in the CIF/NIF field since the 349 model declaration uses these fields to include them in the declaration.

4. Include the desired format or formats of CIF/NIF for the country.

    • The # symbol indicates digit entry.
    • The @ symbol indicates letter entry.
    • The ? symbol indicates any character.


5. Select the field “Check CIF/NIF” if you want it to check if the CIF/NIF entered for customers, suppliers and contacts meets the format and control of the algorithm to confirm its integrity, as specified for the assigned country. In doing so, when you enter the CIF/NIF of a customer, supplier or contact on Navision, the system will confirm it, according to the legal regulations. If the CIF/NIF is incorrect, a message will be displayed to the user and the user can decide whether to enter the new CIF/NIF.

In the Customer, Supplier or Contact tab, you can filter who will carry out the confirmation and in the ‘Options’ tab, you can indicate whether you want to check customers, suppliers and/or contacts.
