In some cases when we conduct business in Europe, we have to indicate our company's EIN number and the customer's VAT ID. As I see, there is no way to do this out of the box.
Furthermore, we did not found any way to add a VAT ID, company registration number, or other identification option for a customer.
Maybe our only option is to do this with custom filed feature.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is pretty poor - showing the customer's VAT number is a legal requirement in much of Europe and the only solution is to have to put it in manually with every invoice created? That's simply not good enough. You literally have a VAT number field in the customer details - the framework is already there to display that on the invoice.
