FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does my invoice data need to match the Sanofi PO data?
Yes, we strongly recommend using the same details (e.g. line level structure, unit of measure, currency, unit price etc.) for your invoice as we used in our PO. Should any of these elements differ in the invoice compared to the PO, this may cause the need for manual processing/verification/approval which may result in a delay of your payment.

Yes, there is the option for the suppliers using the Integrated Solution to upload invoice attachments as bulk without the need to access the Tungsten Portal for each one of them. Please contact Tungsten Support in case you need help with this.
