Group VAT ID – Disabling ARES Updates

How to Prevent ARES Updates for a Group VAT ID

Written by Zuzana Sýkorová

Some companies may have a group VAT ID (skupinové DIČ), which can cause an issue: when you run a bulk update, Flexi overwrites your information with data from ARES.

For group VAT IDs, we recommend turning off the update. Below, we show you how to do that.

Enter the partner in the address book, save it, and select it using the checkbox on the left. Then select the "Bulk changes" option, for selected records only:

For the change, select the revize (revision) column and set its value to 999999999.

Click the Finish button. This change prevents bulk updates from ARES.

Flexi cannot correctly load group VAT IDs from the registry when you click Update all. For entities that had a separate individual VAT ID, it deletes the group VAT ID and replaces it with either the original one or leaves the field empty. Therefore, every time you use the Update all button, you need to manually change the VAT ID back to the group VAT ID.
