VATINField

✓ from vies import VATINField

✗ from django_vies.fields import VATINField

Add a VIES-validated VAT field to a Django model.

from django_vies.fields import VATINField from django.db import models class Company(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) vat = VATINField(blank=True, null=True) # Usage: from django_vies.validators import VATINValidator validator = VATINValidator() try: validator('DE123456789') print('Valid VAT') except Exception as e: print('Invalid:', e)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v6, the model field no longer has a separate VATINModelField; use VATINField from models module.

fix

Change imports: from django_vies.models import VATINField (not VATINModelField)

affects: >=6.0.0

gotchaVIES SOAP service may be slow or unreliable; fields accept 'None' for offline fallback.

fix

Set blank=True, null=True to allow empty VAT numbers; handle validation asynchronously if needed.

affects: all

deprecatedThe suds-py3 dependency is deprecated; use requests-based backend (default since v5).

fix

Upgrade to v6 and ensure no custom SOAP backend configuration.

affects: <5.0.0
