Create Electronic Documents by Using OIOUBL

  • Article

Note

This feature isn't related to the new E-documents framework and requirments related to the new Danish bookkeeping act. For new functionality and updated OIOUBL 3.0, you can find updated content in Electronic invoicing with NemHandel.

When you sell goods or services to a customer in the public sector, you must submit documents electronically. You can create the following electronic documents:

  • Invoices
  • Credit memos
  • Reminders
  • Finance charge memos

Before you can create the electronic documents though, you must set up your customers for OIOUBL. Learn more at Set Up Customers for OIOUBL.

You can create an electronic document after you post the sales or service document. The following sections describe how to post a sales invoice with the required information and then create an electronic sales invoice, but the same procedure applies to sales and service credit memos and reminders.

To post a sales invoice

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Sales Invoices, and then choose the related link.

  2. Open the sales invoice that you want to post.

  3. Make sure that the External Document No. field contains the document number that the customer supplied. OIOUBL electronic documents require this number.

    Note

    For service documents, you must fill in the Your Reference field.

  4. On the Invoicing FastTab, fill in the GLN and OIOUBL Account Code fields.

    For reminders and finance charge memos, the fields are on the Posting FastTab.

  5. Post the invoice.

To create an electronic sales invoice

  2. Open the relevant posted sales invoice.
  3. Choose the Create Electronic <document type> action.
