EHF Electronic Invoicing in Norway

  • Artículo

Companies must send sales invoices and credit memos to the Norwegian public sector electronically in the Elektronisk Handelsformat (EHF) based on Universal Business Language (UBL). If a company does not send these documents electronically, the authorities can deny payment. The standard supported format for electronic exchange between parties is the Ehandel.no format.

For more information on EHF electronic invoicing, see EHF Implementation Guide: Invoice and Credit Note and EHF Invoice.

Implementation in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

The current requirements for sending electronic invoices are based on the Universal Business Language (UBL) version 2.1 standard. For more information, see the OASIS UBL website. The generated XML documents can then be sent to the customer.

To send documents electronically, you must assign European Article Numbering (EAN) location numbers and account codes to the relevant customers in the Customer Card window. For more information, see How to: Set Up Customers for EHF. These numbers are included when you create documents, and post or issue them. After the documents have been posted or issued, you can create electronic versions to be sent to the customer.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports two versions of EHF electronic invoicing. Microsoft Dynamics NAV exports certain electronic documents in version 2.0, which uses UBL version 2.1. You can submit the following types of documents:

  • Sales invoice

  • Service invoice

  • Sales credit memo

  • Service credit memo

Microsoft Dynamics NAV exports other electronic documents in version 1.6, which uses UBL version 2.0. You can submit the following types of documents:

  • Finance charge memo

  • Reminder

The electronic documents are stored in the locations that are defined in the Sales & Receivables Setup window. For more information, see How to: Set Up EHF.
