Why e-invoices
Norwegian government bodies require suppliers to send electronic invoices through Peppol (the format is known as EHF). Many private companies now do the same because it removes manual entry and speeds up payment.
How it works
Your accounting system sends a structured invoice through an access point, and the buyer’s system receives it by organisation number. Nothing is retyped from a PDF, so errors drop.
What to check
Confirm your accounting software supports Peppol, register your organisation number with an access point and test with one customer first. The Bookkeeping Act (bokføringsloven) also requires you to keep records, which is five years for most documents.
