Active German customers with no VAT number

223 of 800 active German customers (28%) have no VAT number on file. A sale to a customer in another EU country can be made without VAT only when that customer's VAT number is known. Some small businesses and farms are allowed to have none, and 154 of the 223 look like a sole trader or a farm, so NTC needs to confirm which of them are real gaps.

Why critical: it reaches 223 of 800 active German customers across 5 linked assets and systems, so it blocks day-to-day work and needs fixing first.
