Ongoing procurement processes
Invoicing
By law, all invoices sent to Lund University must be sent electronically. Check with the supplier of your finance system or invoicing services how to send e-invoices.
Requirements for approved e-invoices
To be approved, an e-invoice must:
- contain the same information as a normal invoice
- be in a structured electronic format – not as a PDF
- be sent the right way (see below) – not via email
- contain certain specific information according to the Value Added Tax Act.
The information contained in the e-invoice must also meet certain requirements:
Even if the invoice is sent electronically, it must include the following address:
Lund University
Name of the department/division
Box 188, SE-221 00
LUND, SWEDEN
Please note: It is important that only the invoice address is included in the address section.
The invoice reference must be included in a separate section. If the name of the person ordering is included in the invoice address, it must never come before Lund University. Otherwise, the invoice could be interpreted as being issued to the person ordering and not to Lund University. The person ordering may then risk becoming personally liable for payment.
To ensure that the invoice is sent to the right person at Lund University in the system, a reference must always be included in the correct section of the invoice. This reference is written as the first name and surname of the person who placed the order, e.g. 'Anna Andersson'.
If you have received an order from us, the documentation will include a procurement order number, which must also be included in the e-invoice. Our order numbers start with LU and are followed by eight digits, LUxxxxxxxx.
The description of the item or service should be included in the appropriate section. The description should only be of one or a few words in length, and be clear and consistent, e.g.:
- 'Flow cytometer [model name]'
- 'Laptop [model name]'
- 'Installation of lighting'
It is not sufficient to include only the model name, an address, a person's name, or to write 'as per quotation', 'consultation fee', or 'see specification' and similar descriptions.
The spelling of the description must be correct. Abbreviations, splitting of compound words and reverse word order must be avoided. Do not use invoice lines without a corresponding amount to be paid, known as an empty row.
If specific or detailed additional information is needed to understand what the item description refers to, such as a date, address or name of a person, the supplier may include this information in the section provided for this purpose.
If you are an international supplier, you must also include the following information on the invoice:
- SWIFT/BIC
- IBAN number/account number
- Account holder
- Mailing address
