Topic: EAN number

I know that in DK government organizations will only accept electronic invoices. You can do this is in many ways. It is among other options a possibility to use an agent that will transform your paper invoices to electronic invoices.

However, nomatter what, you will need to be able to register an EAN number on a customer for this to work.

Re: EAN number

There are some systems of electronic invoices in use, all have their own requirements. As for now most countries use some sort of electronic document exchange as non obligatory option. In most countries there is some kind of fiscal identifier like GST number, VAT or NIP. This one must be placed in all fiscal document as company identifier. AFAIK the main use of EAN company number is to identify retail products manufacturer from EAN product codes and have little to do with invoicing.
Anyway adding this numbers to FA customer database is easy but seems make not big sense if the only use for it is placing on invoice, and we do not know other requirements for such documents.
