Serial number and multiple billing lines

Can I use multiple e-invoice series for branches or systems?

⚠ Machine-translated answer, not yet manually reviewed. For the exact wording, see the Slovak original.

Short answer

Yes. § 74 ods. 1 letter c) requires the serial number of the invoice, and the official explanations of the Financial Administration allow one or more series of numbers, for example by branch or type of delivery. However, each number must uniquely identify the invoice. For multiple ERPs, use a distinguishable prefix or other controlled scheme to avoid collisions.

Allowed

More series

A branch, system or delivery type can have a separate line.

Mandatory

Unambiguity

The serial number must identify one invoice.

XML

BT-1 without rewriting

The actual number including the prefix belongs to the XML.

Control

Central rule owner

The company must be able to explain the creation of the number and prevent collisions.

Conclusion

Multiple number ranges are allowed. The prerequisite is unambiguous identification, consistent BT-1 and collision management.
