KBO/BCE Integration

Look up company information directly from the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen / Banque-Carrefour des Entreprises). Auto-fill client details, verify VAT numbers, and check company status.

How It Works

When adding or editing a contact:

1. Enter the enterprise number (e.g. 0123.456.789)
2. Praxis queries the KBO/BCE database in real time
3. Company information auto-fills including:
   • Official company name
   • Registered address
   • VAT number (BE format)
   • Legal form (BVBA, NV, VOF, etc.)
   • Company status (active, ceased, bankruptcy)
   • Activity codes (NACE-BEL)

VAT Validation

For EU clients outside Belgium, Praxis validates VAT numbers against the VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) database. Valid EU VAT numbers automatically trigger reverse charge on invoices.

Where It's Used

• Contacts – Auto-fill company details when creating contacts
• Invoicing – Verify client VAT numbers for compliance
• Cases – Identify parties by enterprise number
