Södra requires electronic invoices
As of 2020-03-01 Södra requires supplier invoices to be sent electronically, from this date Södra will not accept paper invoices. Electronic invoices enable more efficient and safer handling.
Correct five-character invoice reference is mandatory.
Södra’s purchaser must always provide you with a five-letter invoice reference. If you do not know the reference, please contact the purchaser at Södra for more information.
Write the reference on the first page of the invoice header. Ideally, use “Your reference” or similar phrasing to make it easy to find.
Invoices without a reference or an incorrect reference will automatically be returned to you, and a new correct invoice with an updated invoice date and due date will be required.
E-invoicing
An e-invoice, or EDI invoice, is an invoice that is issued, received and processed electronically. It is digital from being created by the sender until it is received and processed by the recipient. In other words, an e-invoice is electronic throughout its lifetime. Södra require that you as a supplier send your invoices as e-invoices.
Benefits of e-invoicing:
- E-invoicing is efficient, simple and saves working hours for both the sender and the recipient.
- Lower cost to send compared to paper invoices.
- E-invoice provides good traceability.
- Increased security as any errors can be detected immediately.
- The invoice always arrives correctly to the recipient.
