What is a code string?
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.
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:
- Invoice reference is missing
- The stated invoice reference goes to another Skanska company than the invoice is addressed to
- Information about reverse tax liability is missing
- Payment account is missing
- Organization number is missing
