SOAP API: can't access the data from the field "VAT number".

[lorigergely]

Dear Customer Service,

We are build  a synchronization software for magento trough SOAP.

Here is the WSDL link to the test server: http://dev.mormota.ro/api/v2_soap/?wsdl

Our problem is that we can't access the data from the field "VAT number". 

The "VAT number" is located in the admin interface here:

  "Customer Information"/ "Addresses" / "VAT number".

We tried to get all the information from the registered customer:

customerCustomerEntity <-SOAP.customerAddressInfo

customerAddressEntityItem <- SOAP.customerCustomerInfo

but none of this fields contain the "VAT number".

I suppose the data need to be in field "customerCustomerEntity.taxvat".

Best Regards,

Hi @lorigergely,

Maybe you don't have the taxvat enabled?

(And why SOAP instead of REST?)

Thank you for your reply. 

How we can check if the taxvat field is enabled? or how we can enable?

Here's a screenshot about the field we can't find.

Hi @lorigergely,

I've made a test with a vanilla installation.

Customer without TaxVatAs you can see my customer doesn't have the TaxVat.

I've made a SOAP request and this was the response.

SOAP API response without taxvat

 Customer without TaxVat.

Then I've edited my customer and I've added some TaxVat value.

Customer with TaxVat

The new response was:

SOAP API response with taxvat

Then I've checked addresses.

For example, the default billing address of that customer.

Address without TaxVat

As you can see, the response came without taxvat (and that was right).

Then I've edited the  address and I've added some value on the TaxVat attribute.

Address with TaxVat

And the new api response was correct.

Finally, this is my current Customer configuration. Is default.

And the code was:

<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time','1000');
set_time_limit(0);

$client = new SoapClient("http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/api/?wsdl");
try {
    
    //Login
    $session = $client->login("username", "password");

    //Listado de países
    //1 is the customer address ID
    $result = $client->call($session, 'customer_address.info', '1');
    
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($result);
    echo "</pre>";
    
} catch (SoapFault $exception) {
    
    echo "There were an error on your request\n\n";
    echo "Code: " . $exception->faultcode . "\n";
    echo "Message: " . $exception->faultstring . "\n";
    
}

//Logout
$client->endSession($session);

(Of course, this is dummy code just for test)
