Volvo uses TLS line security (session encryption only) and the validation is done against Root CA Certificates. That means that your certificate is NOT stored at Volvo and in turn you should NOT store Volvo's server certificate on your side. You should store the Root CA Certificates needed to verify the chain of Volvo's server certificate. In most cases this means the Root CA Certificate of Verisign. In some cases storing the Verisign Intermediate certificate might be needed as well.
Please read more at EDI communication setup.

If the currency of the invoice is another than the company official accounting currency (in Sweden SEK and EUR are accepted), it is an obligation to state VAT amount in both currencies - not only in invoicing currency, but also VAT amount in the official accounting currency. In these cases it is also an obligation to include the applied currency conversion rate.
Example:
Company Parts AB established in Sweden has SEK as official accounting currency. An invoice is issued in EUR to a Swedish customer. EUR will then be the invoicing currency and SEK the home currency. In this case the VAT amount has to be mentioned in both currencies and the currency conversation rate must also be mentioned
The supplier has always to include the number of decimals actually used in the calculation operation, but the maximal number of decimals characters is limited to 5.
Due to the VAT rules in different countries companies within the Volvo Group have been VAT registered. When a company is VAT registered in a foreign country there is a need for a VAT agent/representative. The VAT agent is someone who takes care of some obligations as follows from the VAT registration.
In the new invoicing rules within EC it is always required to relate a zero rate VAT to a legal reason. This is done by means of a code list developed by the Odette organisation in Europe. The possible code values can be found in a compilation accessible under the "Useful information" section at EDI Implementation information.
When Volvo created the specifications regarding Global Invoice, Volvo tried to establish easy applied rules regarding VAT agent (and VAT number). The decided rule is to always give information of the VAT number for the legal Buyer and the legal Seller. In case Volvo uses a VAT agent (e.g. Volvo Parts for deliveries to Belgium), it is mandatory to give the VAT number for the VAT agent in addition to the VAT number of the Buyer. To catch the adequate VAT number, please study our guidelines available at EDI Implementation information.
Suppliers can find the information about the requirements for the test invoices at: Specification& Guidelines and also at Volvo Codes & Addresses document.
Volvo has published a "Global Invoice calculation scheme"(word document, 0.069Mb) describing how all the amounts of an invoice ought to be calculated. This scheme is accessible under "Useful information" at EDI Implementation information.

Volvo has never requested encryption of any kind regarding invoices. Neither have we had any intention to demand that. We regard this as not necessary; the quality in our internal process is good enough. The legislation in Sweden is technology neutral and it is up to the companies to choose the means that they find necessary in order to cater for a secure handling of incoming invoices. Nor will we require an additional paper document.
If the supplier for local reasons would like to attach an electronic signature to the Global Invoice message, this is acceptable, as long as the supplier keeps the format readable and not encrypted.
In the Volvo profiles of Global Invoice, Volvo has as briefing included information related to Self Billing Invoicing (SBI). This SBI concept has been discussed a lot during the recent years within the Automotive Industry. For the moment, Volvo has no intention of implementing SBI, but will in the future study the concept thoroughly and decide the conditions for use.
Appointed version for EDI INVOICE is EDI INVOICE D07A - Implementation guideline. For now, some plants still can only handle the D03A Invoices, so please be sure that you always check the latest version in VOLVO Codes and Addresses where you can find the current status of all messages for all Volvo entities.: Useful information.
