Overview

The Norway section collects the localization features for Norwegian businesses. It opens with an overview page listing the covered areas: Norwegian VAT reporting, SAF-T management, electronic banking, EHF invoicing, remittance payments and OCR payments. The overview also mentions planned future legislation updates and refers to 2026 release wave 2.

The content is split into three subtopics. VAT covers VAT codes, proportional deduction, reconciliation, electronic VAT returns via ID-Porten and SAF-T. Banking & payments is the largest group, with remittance setup, vendor payments, return files, OCR and KID customer payments, and EHF invoicing. General covers recurring sales orders, payroll transaction import, KID number setup and giro/KID document printing.

One page sits directly in the hub: applying general ledger entries in closed periods. Start with the overview page, then go to the subtopic that matches your task.
