ABN - Australia
Our Comfort pack contains numerous nice-to-have enhancements for the input and data integrity of ABN numbers.
Our government lookup features were built based on user feedback and are well received by most users for their simplicity and speed!
The following short video shows the capabilities of our ABN user interface with real time lookup and validations.
Lookup
Our ABN lookup helps end users search for ABN registry information using either a vendor name or an ABN Number.
A series of filters at the top of the lookup allows data filtering to refine search results.
Lookup by name: The results are displayed in real time with a confidence score.
Lookup by number: A single result is shown with details.
Display and shortcuts
Once selected, ABN Numbers will be displayed like the following:
2 new shortcut icons on the left allows the navigation to the ABR website for quick double checking.
A tooltip reflects the ABN registration for the matching ABN number.
Validation
Once an ABN number is entered in the system, Eftsure inside D365 will validate the ABN number against ABR registry for number format and validation.
If the ABN number doesn't exist in the tax number table, it will be created automatically for the user.
If the ABN entered doesn't match the appropriate ABN format, field and record level validations will fail for interactive and non-interactive sessions.
Configuration
See API Keys - ABN to register for an ABN Guid.
Configure ABN services in Eftsure parameters > GovCode > Australia > ABR:
Enter the details provided by ABR Registry in Registration Guid and set the ABN formatting type (With or without spaces) that applies throughout the system.
Availability
Just like all other comfort pack tools, the ABN lookup is available everywhere an ABN / VATNumber field is available, notably in vendors, customers and legal entities.
Fees
ABN Registry offers API services for free after registration, the registration process is one of the easiest of all our tools.
