As of 1 February 2005, all public sector institutions in Denmark may only accept invoices in electronic format. This affects any company that does business with public-sector customers.
What to remember
When sending an invoice to a public institution, vendors need to ensure that the invoice contains the following information:
- The EAN-location number of the public customer.
- An order or requisition number.
- A person or other reference.
- An internal account number (optional).
The invoice, which must be in the electronic format of OIOUBL, can be created:
- Directly through the vendor's accounting system.
- On the Internet via an invoicing portal.
- Through the Invoice Portal on www.virk.dk.
- By a Read-In service center.
