  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_INTRASTAT009 - No information provider found for VAT registration number for doc. & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS_INTRASTAT009 No information provider found for VAT registration number for doc. &

    typically occurs in the context of Intrastat reporting in SAP. Intrastat is the system for collecting statistics on the trade in goods between EU member states. This error indicates that the system cannot find an information provider (a business partner or vendor/customer) linked to the VAT registration number for the specified document.


    Cause

    • Missing or incorrect master data: The VAT registration number used in the document (sales or purchase document) is not linked to any business partner or vendor/customer master record in the Intrastat reporting setup.
    • Incomplete Intrastat configuration: The business partner or vendor/customer is not maintained as an information provider in the Intrastat customizing.
    • Incorrect VAT registration number: The VAT number in the document might be wrong or not maintained in the system.
    • Document not assigned to an information provider: The document (sales order, invoice, or goods movement) is not assigned to any information provider for Intrastat reporting.

    Solution

    1. Check VAT Registration Number:

      • Verify that the VAT registration number in the document is correct.
      • Check the master data of the business partner/vendor/customer to ensure the VAT number is maintained properly.
    2. Maintain Information Provider:

      • Go to transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) or SNRO (Number Range Objects) if relevant, but more specifically:
      • Use transaction WE20 or SNRO only if related to IDocs or number ranges.
      • For Intrastat, maintain the information provider in the customizing:
        • SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Foreign Trade/Customs ? Intrastat ? Basic Settings ? Define Information Providers.
      • Assign the business partner/vendor/customer with the correct VAT registration number as an information provider.
    3. Assign Document to Information Provider:

      • Ensure that the document (sales order, delivery, invoice) is linked to the correct information provider.
      • This can be checked in the document header or via the Intrastat reporting transactions.
    4. Update Master Data:

      • If the VAT number is missing in the business partner/vendor/customer master, update it in transaction BP (Business Partner) or XK03/VD03/FD03 (Vendor/Customer display).
      • Ensure the VAT registration number is maintained in the correct field (usually in the tax data or company code data).
    5. Run Intrastat Reporting:

      • After correcting the master data and configuration, re-run the Intrastat report.
      • Use transaction WEI1 or WEI2 for Intrastat reporting and check if the error persists.

    Related Information

    • Intrastat Reporting: Intrastat requires that every transaction involving goods movement between EU countries is reported with the correct information provider (usually the party responsible for the transaction).
    • Information Provider: This is typically the company or business partner whose VAT number is used for Intrastat declarations.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to Intrastat errors for any patches or updates.

    • Transaction Codes:
      • BP – Business Partner maintenance
      • WEI1/WEI2 – Intrastat reporting
      • SPRO – Customizing for Intrastat settings
