Description

• Visma Severa supports four invoice reference numbering standards.

• The reference numbering standard of organization comes automatically based on country of the organization. 

• If Organizational hierarchy add-on is in use, invoice will use the reference numbering standard based on the country of the business unit which is recognized as organization. Business unit is recognized as organization when it has VAT-number set. This business unit should also have an address set, because address has a country, and the reference number is generated based on that. 

• If organization country is different than the four country standards listed below, Finnish standard is used. 

• It is not possible to manually set up the reference numbering standard.
