“no-number” in field: “_vat_number_validated”

    Hello,
    thank you for this fantastic plugin, it makes things very easy for me.
    Just one thing is annoying ( not your fault :-))
    I have a order management system connected to my shop (Billbee)
    They read the Meta data fields and check for VAT numbers, in order to determine the tax status of the order.
    They don’t understand the semantics of “no-order”, and mark the order as tax exempted, because there is a value in that field and they don’t check the validity.
    How can I get around this ?
    test case:
    place an order from Belgium (no company and VAT number entered) to a shop in Germany.
    check order meta data.

    Thanks a lot,
    Michael

    Field _vat_number_validated indicates the result of the validation. The possible values are the following:

    - 'no-number'
- 'valid'
- 'not-valid'
- 'non-eu'
- 'could-not-be-validated'
- 'entered-manually-not-validated'

    Unfortunately, we can’t offer solutions about 3rd party systems, but I would suggest that, if your order management system can’t distinguish between the values of the _vat_number_validated meta, perhaps they could just ignore that meta altogether.

    Thank you, this helps a lot.
    It’s a smaller and quite agile company, I will forward your proposal.
    Thanks and all the best,
    Michael
