Summary :
SAP Note addresses the upcoming change by the New Zealand Inland Revenue to start issuing 9-digit IRD numbers due to the depletion of the 8-digit range. With no specific start date provided, the change is anticipated for early to mid-2008. SAP systems currently validating these numbers through the Set Country-Specific Checks table (V_005_B) need adjustments to accommodate the new format. Both existing and new IRD numbers, with 8 or 9 digits, need to be supported. Customers must also ensure all custom forms, reports, and interfaces reflect this update, allowing for the display and processing of the longer numbers.
