value
Validates a European VAT number against the live VIES SOAP service at ec.europa.eu: spaces, dots and dashes are stripped, the first 2 characters become the country code. valid mirrors the service verdict, with company, address and country filled from the response. valid=false with error VALUE_EMPTY when the pin is unwired, INVALID_FORMAT when the cleaned number is under 3 characters, PARSE_ERROR on an unreadable response, or the network error when the service is unreachable : so valid=false covers both "not a VAT number" and "could not check".
A typical wiring for validate VAT: a function trigger starts the flow; value feeds the vat pin; the flow out pin feeds debug.
