A code string is Skanska's invoice reference which is a 3-position combination consisting of numbers as follows: (5-6 digits) - (1-15 characters) - (4-5 digits) separated by hyphens, eg 123456-1-5001. A purchase order number is another type of invoice reference and consists of 5-9 contiguous numbers, for example 123456789.
What is a code string/purchase order number?
Why is my invoice returned or rejected?
If the invoice does not meet Skanska's requirements for information and labeling, the invoice cannot be handled and will be returned or rejected. It is the supplier's responsibility to correct and submit a new invoice.
Common reasons for return or rejection are:
- Code string/purchase order number is missing
- The stated code string/purchase order belongs to another Skanska company than the invoice is addressed to
- Information about reverse charge/tax liability is missing
- Payment account is missing
- Organization number is missing
How am I informed that my invoice is rejected or returned?
