Why am I receiving this error message?

You have entered a legal organisation number rather than an organisation number for enterprise (sub-entity).

This may be because you: 

• specified an incorrect legal organisation number
• should have specified an organisation number for sub-entity/enterprise

All enterprises/sub-entities must have a separate organisation number. If you do not have an organisation number, or if you want to find the appropriate organisation number, see www.brreg.no.

 

Do I have to correct the error?

Yes, the a-melding contains serious errors and/or omissions which you must correct. The a-melding has been rejected.

You must correct the error by the deadline for submitting the a-melding for the calendar month in which you received the error message.

Severity: Rejection

How to make corrections

1. Check which organisation numbers you’ve reported.
   
   
2. At brreg.no you can check which enterprises that are linked to the main entity. If you’re going to report an ordinary, maritime or freelance employment, you must enter the enterprise’s organisation number in the field called “enterprise” in the a-melding. If you’re only going to report pension or other benefits outside of an employment, you can enter the organisation number for the main entity in the field called “enterprise”. Read more about employment type here.
   
   
3. If you do not have an enterprise in the Central Coordinating Register of Legal Entitles (Enhetsregisteret) and you’re reporting an ordinary, maritime or freelance employment, you must apply to the Central Coordinating Register of Legal Entitles for an enterprise. You must wait to send the a-melding until you’ve received an organisation number for the enterprise.
   
   
4. When you have received an organisation number for the enterprise, you must use it.
   
   
5. When the error is corrected, submit the a-melding. If you use a payroll system, check with your system supplier if you are not sure how to make corrections.
