Document background
The Purchase Order Invoice is a crucial document in Danish commercial transactions, used when a business needs to formally document and request payment for goods or services provided based on a purchase order. This document type is particularly relevant under Danish law, where specific requirements exist for invoice content, VAT reporting, and accounting documentation. It must include mandatory elements specified by the Danish Bookkeeping Act and VAT Act, such as unique invoice numbering, clear party identification including CVR numbers, itemized descriptions, and VAT calculations. The document serves multiple purposes: confirming the order details, establishing the payment obligation, enabling VAT reporting, and providing an accounting record. It's commonly used in business-to-business transactions and must comply with Danish e-invoicing requirements when dealing with public sector entities.
