Invoice requirements

The Financial Shared Service Centre (FSSC) hosts the UG's complete accounts payable department. For an efficient and correct processing of your invoice, it's important that your invoice contains several specific criteria.

Invoices not meeting the requirements as mentioned below, will not be processed and will be returned to sender.

In addition to the legal requirements, it is essential that specific information is stated on the invoice, namely:

  • (Purchase) ordernumber, job number or reference (mandatory, 9-character or 6-character)
  • VAT-number of the UG: NL001932706B01 (if business abroad)

The (purchase) order number can be found on the purchase order that you have received from us. If you received no order number or job number, always ask the buyer for a reference (cost center 9-character or project number 6-character) and state this clearly on the invoice.

"In addition, we request that you anonymize medical and/or confidential information on the invoice. For example, you can ask the Creditor to have a P number on the invoice instead of a name."

In the heading of the invoice, the address should be stated as following:

University of Groningen FSSC
<name of faculty or service>
Postbus 3
9700 AA Groningen

Or

University of Groningen FSSC
<name of faculty or service>
