About OIOUBL Profiles

OIOUBL profiles are adaptations of business processes for various types of transactions, and differ depending on the types and contents of the documents that are exchanged. In Denmark, the two profiles that are required are the Simpel fakturaproces (Procurement-OrdSim-BilSim-1.0) and Billing Basic (urn:www.nesubl.eu:profiles:profile5:ver2.0) profiles. The Billing Basic profile is based on the Northern European Subset (NES). Your customer must be able to receive documents in one of these profiles. If you are not sure, ask your customer about the profile they require. For more information, see the entry on OIOUBL profiles in the frequently asked questions section at Digitaliseringsstyrelsen.

The default profile for all customers is the Simpel fakturaproces profile, which is chosen on the Sales & Receivables Setup page. You specify the profile for a specific customer on the Customer card. If you want to use the Billing Basic profile you will need to add it. To do so, on the Sales & Receivables Setup page, choose the button in the Default Profile Code field, and then choose New. Enter a name for the code, and then in the Profile field, enter urn:www.nesubl.eu:profiles:profile5:ver2.0. You can then choose the profile either as the default profile, or for one or more customers.
