E-invoicing Austria

Billing the Austrian federal government? Three details decide it.

Invoices to Austrian federal offices have to be filed electronically – paper and PDF-by-email do not get paid. You need the office's buyer group, your supplier number and an invoice in ebInterface 6.1. Nori produces the format when you send and files it through the USP portal.

What you need

The three details that usually hold invoices up

Two of them only the office itself can give you. The third is public – and searchable in our directory.

  1. 1

    Order reference

    Without a purchase order you enter the office's 3-character buyer group (EKG), e.g. K40. With one, use its 10-digit number – every invoice line then also needs an order position.

  2. 2

    Supplier number

    Your 8-digit identifier in the federal vendor register, e.g. 50012345. The commissioning office issues it – ask them directly, nobody else may hand it out.

  3. 3

    USP access

    Filing runs through the Austrian business service portal. Store the credentials in Nori once, and every invoice after that goes out with a click.

FAQ

Questions about filing with the Austrian federal government

Yes. Electronic filing applies to invoices to federal offices regardless of the amount. A PDF by email does not satisfy it – a structured format such as ebInterface is required.

It is published in the official list on erechnung.gv.at and searchable in our directory. If your order carries a 10-digit purchase order number, use that instead of the buyer group.

Ask the commissioning office. Neither erechnung.gv.at support nor the USP hotline may hand it out – it comes from that office's own vendor register.

No. Provinces, cities and state-owned companies have their own rules and their own order-reference prefixes. This directory covers the federal offices.
