Central Invoicing

Please only use our central invoicing address to make sure that your invoice can be processed promptly and in due time. Use it for all invoices and credits to all institutions and services of the university (dean's offices, institutes, chairs). When addressing your invoice, please delete all additional address details that might be stored in your core data, such as names, locations or building numbers.

Please note that the University of Mannheim does not have a central department for the receipt of delivered goods. Deliveries of goods are madein deviation from the invoicing address—directly to the delivery address stated in the order.
