Pull information from the web service for the target VAT ID afm_called_for defined in the Results struct that has first been created with new/4.

Note: the function minimizes and checks the source and target VAT IDs, and only sends the request to the API if both minimized VAT IDs are valid.

Define a new struct that will be manipulated from containing only the minimal information required to query the SOAP API, to containing the complete request, the SOAP API response, and the parsed information thereof into the corresponding structs.

You need to pass authentication parameters username, password and the source VAT ID afm_called_by as parameters.

Examples

Typically, you will pass a valid 9-digit VAT ID, with or without the "EL" prefix:

new("123456783", ...) # valid (dummy) 9-digit VAT ID
new("EL123456783", ...) # ditto, with "EL" prefix that will get stripped

Older VAT IDs only have 8 digits, and will get leading-zero-padded to 9 digits:

new("11111067", ...) # valid (dummy) 8-digit VAT ID
