Invoicing
Here you can find our billing addresses and general billing instructions. We receive invoices as e-invoices. The invoice must contain the cost center number, project number and order number.
The instructions and requirements stated in this contract annex shall always be followed when invoicing Skanska from outside of Finland. In case the information on the invoice is insufficient, Skanska will return the invoice to the supplier for amendments, which may cause a delay in the payment.
Skanska shall not be held responsible for the consequences of such a delay. The following information is mandatory and should be taken into account in all invoices sent by foreign suppliers.
Remember to include the reference provided by Skanska on your invoices
Skanska requires that all invoices must have a reference number proved by Skanska. Reference number includes cost center and/or project number and/or project number and order number. Reference number should be in form XXXX.XXXX or XXXX.XXXXX (project number) or XXXX.0 (cost center number) or XXXX.XXXX/XXXXXXXXXX or XXXX.XXXX/REQXXXXXXX (project and order number).
The reference information must be on the invoice and in the xml file in some of the following fields:
- BuyerReferenceIdentifier
- Order Identifier

One invoice can only include costs from one project. Invoice that contains costs from multiple projects or in case the information on the invoice is insufficient, Skanska will return the invoice to the supplier for amendments, which may cause a delay in the payment.

If you cannot send e-invoice
Invoice should be sent as in e-invoice.

The supplier has no right to transfer contractual rights to a third party without the consent of Skanska.
The supplier must invoice Skanska directly. Skanska will not accept intermediated invoices unless expressly otherwise agreed.
The invoice may be dated and sent out only after the delivery is received. The agreed payment period shall not start unless the invoice is submitted in flawless form.
Please note that international money transfer takes time and so does the handling of invoices in accordance with the requirements of Skanska’s internal invoice approval system.
