Hi Philip,
The Server Token field also needs a value. Have a look at the documentation: docs.microsoft.com/.../emea-gbr-mtd-vat-integration
Thanks Andre,
I have studied that document now for 2 days and I'm missing something.. you can not request a token without the authorization code, and you can't get the authorization code if you don't have a test user. I cannot create a test user that is when i get the Issue, when I'm supposed to get user login credentials back from HMRC. This is specifically on the Sandbox HMRC web application. so somewhere I'm doing something wrong.

I have a HMRC login i created and i copied the Client ID and Secret to the Sandbox HMRC and then i try to create a test user so i can get the VRN and system test user and password info.txt so i can get the access code and token.
This information (step 1 and 2) is omitted from any documentation for when setting it up the first time:
The registered HMRC user and the test user is not the same record and new test user must be created the first time.
HMRC has recently changed the process for creating a TEST User. It is no longer created from within D365FO Electronic massages [as it was for the last year or so]. Now you need to create the TEST User from within HMRC's site.
Using this URL: developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-test-use
Select the Organisation option > select Create and the necessary credentials will be created for you. Then use them to get the Authorisation code and Obtain access token.

Steve
Hi Philips,
Agree with Steve's Comment.
Process has changed. Test user has to be created from HMRC site.
developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/.../user
