Disable VAT validation (not VIES)

Question

Hi,
I would like to disable VAT number validation when creating new customers using the API. For some reason, when I try to create a customer with a non-validated VAT number, I always get this type of error:
The VAT number [GB565689899] for partner [PauUK2 PauUK2] does not seem to be valid.
Note: the expected format is GB123456782 or XI123456782
Is there a way to disable VAT validation? Please note that this is not VIES validation. We have disabled VIES validation in the invoice section.

Thanks

If anyone stumbles upon the same issue, you can (at least in V17) create Partners with "no_vat_validation" context, as in the following example:
self = self.with_context(no_vat_validation=True)

Alright! · Answer

Updated
from odoo.addons.base_vat.models.res_partner [1] import ResPartner
class ResPartnerExtension(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
@api.constrains('vat', 'country_id')
def check_vat_extended(self):
return True
ResPartner.check_vat = check_vat_extended
