auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Makes the VAT number mandatory in the Odoo e-commerce checkout billing address, so customers cannot complete an order without entering it.

This module changes the online shop checkout so that the VAT number is a required field on the billing address form. When a customer checks out and fills in their billing details, the VAT field is shown as mandatory from the very first page load, not only after a failed submission.

  • The VAT field is required for billing addresses and when the delivery address is used as the billing address.
  • The requirement is enforced both in the form (the field is marked required) and on the server side, so an order cannot be confirmed without a VAT number.
  • The change appears in the standard checkout address form of the website shop; no new menu or screen is added.
  • It relies on the existing VAT validation from the base VAT module, so an invalid VAT number is still rejected.
  • It touches the website sale checkout flow and the portal address form template used during checkout.

No other business rules, emails, or scheduled actions are added by this module.
