NO-R-002

Validation message

For Norwegian suppliers, most invoice issuers are required to append "Foretaksregisteret" to their invoice. "Dersom selger er aksjeselskap, allmennaksjeselskap eller filial av utenlandsk selskap skal også ordet «Foretaksregisteret» fremgå av salgsdokumentet, jf. foretaksregisterloven § 10-2."

Explanation

Under Norwegian law (Foretaksregisterloven § 10-2), limited companies (AS, ASA) and Norwegian branches of foreign companies (NUF) must state “Foretaksregisteret” on their invoices. PEPPOL expects it for every Norwegian seller in the seller's tax registration number field, with exactly this wording. Other company forms, such as sole proprietorships, have no such obligation.

How to fix

If the seller is an AS, ASA or NUF, ask it for a corrected invoice that states “Foretaksregisteret” as its tax registration number; a statement in the invoice notes is not enough.
