There are business cases, where we can sell to or buy from a customer/vendor, who has no VAT ID at all, but is in EU country. In this case, if the check on VAT IDs is set to validate EU countries, we won´t be able to post the invoice for such partners.

There should be a possibility to set a parameters, which put an additional criteria to this check.

I can imagine to have it on Cust/Vend groups or directly on customers/vendors.

For now, you would need to use Dummy IDs, what´s wrong.
