# PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 (EHF 3.0)

In Moment, we have supported EHF 2.0 for a long time. By January 1. 2020, we are required by Norwegian law to support the next version, EHF 3.0.

First, some concepts and abbreviations:

| Concept                                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| [EHF 3.0](https://vefa.difi.no/ehf/g3/billing-3.0/norway/) | Elektronisk Handelsformat. Version 3 is basically a re-branding of the European standard "PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0". See [EHF Post-Award](https://vefa.difi.no/ehf/) for useful info from Difi, as well as [this brief documentation page](https://vefa.difi.no/ehf/g3/billing-3.0/norway/)  with an example of an EHF 3 XML file at the bottom. |
| PEPPOL                                                     | Pan-European Public Procurement. This is a set of specifiactions related to invoicing and other types of business-to-business communication.                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0                                     | Electronic invoices that can be used in Norway, and in an increasing number of European countries. This is basically a pretty complex XML file with all the details of an invoice. The difference between EHF v. 2, or old standard, and PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 is not huge.                                                                   |

This is the underlying XML standard that the PEPPOL specifications is based on.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
