- `SetResponseDetails(Name: Text; Address: Text; Street: Text; City: Text; PostCode: Text)`: Sets response details received from the VAT registration validation service for comparison and storage.
- `SetResponseMatchDetails(Name: Boolean; Street: Boolean; City: Boolean; PostCode: Boolean)`: Sets the match results for individual field comparisons between system values and validation service responses.
- `LogDetails(): Boolean`: Creates detailed log entries for field-by-field validation results and calculates overall validation status.

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "table", object_name: "VAT Registration Log")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
