Integration
EHF invoice and Peppol integration
Send and receive EHF invoices over Peppol straight from your own systems, so invoices to public and private customers go electronically without PDFs and email.
Public bodies in Norway require EHF, and more and more private companies want invoices the same way. If you invoice from your own system, it needs to create and send EHF, and ideally receive supplier invoices the same way too.
What I build
- Sending EHF invoices and credit notes from your own system
- Receiving supplier invoices as EHF, straight into approval or accounting
- Looking up the Peppol directory to see whether a customer can receive EHF
- Validation before sending, so the invoice isn't rejected by the recipient
- A link to the accounting system, so everything is posted correctly
Access and setup
EHF is sent through an access point in the Peppol network. You need an agreement with an access point provider, or your accounting system can often do the job. I find the simplest route based on what you already have.
Common questions
- What's the difference between EHF and Peppol?
- Peppol is the network the invoices travel through. EHF is the Norwegian format the invoices have when they're sent there.
- Do we need EHF to invoice the public sector?
- Yes, public bodies in Norway are required to receive their invoices as EHF.
- Can our accounting system send EHF for us?
- Often, yes. Then the integration hands the invoice to the accounting system, which sends it on as EHF. That's often the simplest solution.
