What does NO-R-002 mean? For Norwegian suppliers, most invoice issuers are required to append "Foretaksregisteret" to their invoice. "Dersom selger er aksjeselskap, allmennaksjeselskap eller filial av utenlandsk selskap skal også ordet «Foretaksregisteret» fremgå av salgsdokumentet, jf. foretaksregisterloven § 10-2."

Why did my invoice fail NO-R-002?

For Norwegian suppliers, most invoice issuers are required to include the word "Foretaksregisteret" on the invoice. Per the Norwegian Business Register Act section 10-2, sellers that are limited companies (aksjeselskap), public limited companies (allmennaksjeselskap) or branches of foreign companies must state "Foretaksregisteret" in the sales document; in UBL this is typically carried in the seller's cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyLegalForm.
