The NFI puts a premium on quality. We define 'purchasing quality' as 'the efficient organisation of the purchasing process with the aim of meeting the customer's expectations and complying with purchasing and subcontracting guidelines'. To make this possible, we have set a number of essential purchasing and invoicing requirements. By following these instructions, you help us process your invoices swiftly and correctly.
How the NFI Purchasing Department operates
All ordering requests received from the NFI are put out to tender, processed and completed by the NFI Purchasing Department. The NFI may purchase a product or service from you in one of the following three ways:
- Incidental purchases through Leonardo (the NFI purchasing system): you will receive a purchase order number.
- Purchases pursuant to a contract agreed between you and the NFI: you will receive a purchase order number.
- Compulsory purchasing policy: no purchase order is required for certain cost categories if the invoice amount does not exceed €3,000. Such invoices should be coded with cost centre + cost type (by instructions of the NFI) and be sent to the email address: NFI-facturen@dji.minjus.nl. The code serves as a reference number. Categories to which this applies include team outings and business gifts, up to a maximum amount of €3,000 (excl. VAT).
Note:
In principle, all commitments to external parties must be recorded by way of a purchase order. You will receive a reference number for every order you process for the NFI. Invoices without a reference number will not be processed.
Invoicing procedure NFI
All procurement processes for the NFI are handled by the Procurement Execution Center (IUC) of SSC DJI. The IUC is responsible for the procurement processes of various departments, including the NFI. Invoices for the NFI are processed by the Financial Services Center (FDC) of SSC DJI.
E-invoicing: The government has made the use of electronic invoicing mandatory for its suppliers. For more information, please visit: Digital government and E-invoicing. The NFI's OIN number is 00000004000000011000.
Contractors may not charge on any electronic invoicing costs to the NFI, including administration costs.
- Invoices without purchase order numbers or reference numbers: If a purchase has been made through another channel than the NFI Purchasing Department and the invoice cannot be linked to a purchase order number or compulsory purchasing policy reference number, the invoice will be returned. You will be notified of this. The notice will state that the invoice must be resent with a purchase order number and a new invoice date. You can request the order number from the commissioning party at the NFI.
Requirements that invoices must meet
To allow the invoicing process to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible, invoices from external parties must meet a number of requirements.
The FDC works with separate checklists for statutory requirements and FDC requirements. For the full list of statutory requirements, please visit the website of the Tax and Customs Administration. The following items must be included on the invoice as a minimum. If your invoice does not meet these requirements, the FDC will not process the invoice and it will be returned to you.

If your business is part of a tax entity, state the name of the department that supplied the goods and/or services on the invoice. - Your full address and the full address of the commissioning party
State the address of your place of business as it appears in the Commercial Register kept by the Chamber of Commerce. A PO Box number on its own is not sufficient. - Your VAT number

- The number of goods and/or services
- The date on which you supplied the goods and/or services

Note:
If your supplier contract specifies electronic invoicing, PDF invoices will not be processed. In exceptional cases only, PDF invoices may be sent to the email address NFI-facturen@dji.minjus.nl.
To ensure fully automated and swift processing by our financial system, you must send each invoice and any appendices as a single PDF file. Always include the invoice number and/or the name of your business in the subject field of the email. PDF invoices take longer to process and pay than electronic invoices.
