ÖNORM interface

ÖNORM is a national standard from the Austrian Standards Institute that is used for electronic data exchange in Austria.

You can import and export service specifications in the format ÖNORM A 2063 and ÖNORM B 2063.

The steps from the offer to the invoice for specifications in the format ÖNORM A 2063:
1. Read in request for offer (* .ONLV)
2. Calculate the offer
3. Print offer and / or output offer file (* .ONLV)
4. Placing an order
5. Read in status change from AA to BA / BB or order LV (* .ONLV)
6. Megennachweis in the format ÖNORM A 2063 or DATAflor invest

7. Print the invoice and, if necessary, a proof of quantity
8. Output the billing specification as a file (*. ONRE)

The steps from the offer to the invoice for service specifications in the format ÖNORM B 2063:
1. Read in request for offer (* .DTA)
2. Calculate the offer
3. Print offer and / or output offer file (* .DTA)
4. Placing an order
5. Status change from AA to BA / BB
6. Proof of quantity in the format ÖNORM B 2114 or DATAflor invest

7. Print the invoice and, if necessary, print the quantity statement or output it as a file

With this function you can create service specifications in the format ÖNORM A 2063 (* .ONLV) and ÖNORM B 2063 (* .DTA) in BUSINESS Read.

First select the project in the project management for which you want to import the course. Then open the menu Project management the selection menu ÖNORM and select the entry Import ÖNORM-LV.


The following import dialog opens. Enter the directory path in which the exported LV is saved or open the Windows file selection dialog.


Select the file with the exported LV and confirm with [To open].


The selected directory path is adopted in the import dialog. Confirm the file selection with [Continue].


The file to be imported is checked. If the file is free of errors, click [Continue].


Define the name of the specification of services and assign a business area, work area, LV identifier and tax rate to the specification of services. Confirm your settings with [Continue].

Specify whether all items are set to offer / not offer and specify the number of decimal places for the quantity. After you have made all the necessary settings, start the import process with [Import].

The import process is carried out.


Confirm the successful import with [Complete].


The imported LV is displayed in the project management in the selected project.

You can import or export the following exchange phases:

According to the definition of ÖNORM A 2063, a Accounting file (* .ONRE) two parts composed: part quantities and part accounting. For partial and final invoices, the standard specifies that the quantities in Part billing can Total quantities (cumulative) and in Part quantities only the difference to the previous partial invoice.

This results in a separate handling of quantity statements, quantity statement summaries and invoice printing, which is described below.

1. Advance invoice:

• Creation of the first proof of quantity (MN1) and recording of the service provided
• Printing of the first partial invoice (1st AR) according to MN1
• Export the ONRE-LV by positioning it in the construction site account on the 1st AR and selecting the export function. The data of the selected invoice and the active quantity certificate MN1 are exported.

2. Advance invoice:

• Creation of a new, empty quantity certificate (MN2) and recording of the service provided since the 1st AR
• Creation of a summary of quantities (MNZ1), which contains MN1 and MN2
• Printing of the second advance invoice (2nd AR) according to MNZ1
• Export the ONRE-LV by marking the 2nd AR in the construction site account. The data of the selected invoice and the still active MN2 quantity certificate are exported.

Financial statements:

• Creation of a third, empty quantity certificate and recording of the service provided since the 2nd AR
• Creation of a new quantity statement summary (MNZ2), which contains MN1, MN2 and MN3
• Printing of the final invoice according to MNZ2
• Export the ONRE-LV by marking the final invoice in the construction site account. The data of the selected invoice and the still active MN3 quantity certificate are exported.

When ONLV and ONRE files are exported, a check is carried out to determine whether the units of measure used in the LV are ÖNORM-compliant. If there are inadmissible units of measure, a message is displayed during the export so that the units of measure can be corrected if necessary.

According to ÖNORM, the following units of measure are permitted:
cm - m - km - cm² - m² - cm³ - m³ - l - g - kg - t - pcs - PA - h - d - Wo - Mo - VE

With the ONRE file for electronic billing per ÖNORM A 2063, a dimension sheet number is transmitted for the billed quantities. A dimension sheet corresponds to in BUSINESS them Mass list of a LV. At the Couching a proof of quantity in the format ÖNORM A 2063 is on the tab Mass list the field Dimension sheet no. is available for storage, management and analysis.

• For the automatic number pre-assignment, an internal counter is used for each LV, which begins with the number "1".
• You can also enter manual numbers.

For the settlement of construction contracts for which variable prices have been agreed, you can store the construction cost indices published by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (BMWFW) for the LV.

Open the dialog for the LV Surcharges-discounts-securities. For courses in the ÖNORM A 2063 format, the layout differs slightly from the other course formats, but contains the same functions.

• Here you choose whether you want to enter a surcharge / discount on the LV total or one of the two price components.
• Whether and which surcharges / deductions are permitted is defined in the imported ÖNORM-LV and is displayed accordingly for selection.

The price indices are taken into account when printing offers and invoices, but are not transferred with the ONLV and ONRE files.

You can add additional offers (* .ONLV) in BUSINESS import as well as in BUSINESS create new additional offers:

1. To import an additional offer, select the order specification in the project tree in the ÖNORM A 2063 format, for which you have received the additional offer from the client, and use the function Import ÖNORM-LV.

1. To create an additional offer, select the order specification in the ÖNORM A 2063 format in the project tree and use the function Create supplementary offer. Make sure that the supplementary specification follows the same classification scheme as the order specification and that the hierarchies and positions are numbered correctly, e.g. title = ZA, Component = ZA.01 and position = ZA.01.01

2. Enter your offer prices for the additional offer and export the offer prices as an ONLV file.

3. After placing the additional order, use the function Addendum to the order. For the automatic numbering of the additional items in the order specification, you should definitely use the option Maintain atomic number.
