 VIES VAT numbers validation
 ===========================
 
+**VAT Information Exchange System** - abbreviated **VIES** - is a tool provided by the European
+Commission that allows you to check the validity of VAT numbers of companies registered in the
+European Union.
+
+Odoo provides a feature to **Verify VAT Numbers** when you save a contact. This helps you make sure
+that your contacts provided you with a valid VAT number without leaving Odoo interface.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To enable this feature, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Taxes`,
+enable the **Verify VAT Numbers** feature, and click on *Save*.

+
+When you click on *Save*, Odoo runs a VIES VAT number check, and displays an error message if the
+VAT number is invalid.

+
+.. important::
+   This tool checks the VAT number's validity but does not check the other fields' validity.
