Correct way of writing my VAT number to make a purchase through my business?

Dear Forum and Customer Care team,

I'm currently planning to make a purchase of a relatively expensive monitor. This purchase is for my business and logically I will want to get a tax-writeoff for it. 

I live in Spain and my company's national (and hypothetical) VAT number is: E-12345678. My business is only registered nationally within Spain, not as one that operates internationally in the EU (or atleast I don't think?).

So I'm purchasing this product over the spanish Dell website, and when I go to write down my VAT in the according field during the checkout process, it tells me the format is wrong. I have been in contact with support about this and they suggest to ad "ES" (presumably for Spain?) in front of my VAT. This does indeed get rid of the error/warning message and let's me carry on with the checkout. However, I am anxious that this would mean that my VAT is wrong on the invoice and I won't be able to get the tax writeoff, as it deviates from "E12345678" and results in "ESE12345678".

Any business/tax guru that may clarify if adding ES would result in an inability to get taxes returned?

Thank you very much in advance!

Yeah got my invoice without VAT and went to account to see WHERE TO ADD VAT DETAILS and apparently it does not give you any section for it. Weird.

I have a very similar problem, even though my business' VAT number is considered invalid with and without the national prefix (IT in my case).
Customer support told me they would send me a step by step "guide" to follow by email but never did.

I don't know what to do and it's been three days already.
