  • While you are working with Tungsten Network to complete your registration, Shaw Industries will be prepared to continue to receive your paper invoices. We have set a deadline of August 14th, 2015 for suppliers ofShaw Industries to transition to the network. Once you are sending invoices via Tungsten Network, please ensure you cease sending paper copies.

  • You can submit up to 52 free invoices annually using the Web Form solution. If you choose the Integrated Solution there is an annual membership fee plus a transaction fee. Please see the enclosed Costs and Options for current pricing.

  • The membership fee covers the cost to Tungsten Network of setting you up on their network and the general costs of maintaining the account. This is a once-a-year cost irrespective of the number of customers that you service via the network.

  • To use the full features of the Tungsten Network service, both you and Shaw Industries pay a fee as we will both benefit from the enhanced service. At present, Shaw Industries does not cover supplier’s costs to produce your paper invoices. Please consider that you will save the costs for paper, printing and posting when moving to e-Invoicing.

  • Tungsten Network is not a payment platform. Shaw Industries will continue to use the current payment method.

  • You will be required to accept the standard terms and conditions.

  • No. There is no software required. Tungsten Network provides an easy-to-use solution. Instead of mandating data standards, Tungsten Network’s any-to-any data formatting capability accepts invoices in any format and any file structure.

  • EDI and XML are just data formats for Tungsten Network. Therefore, you can use this preferred format to deliver the data to Tungsten Network if you choose to use the Integrated Solution. Shaw Industries will not take any electronic data directly from suppliers as we take a single consolidated invoice file from Tungsten Network which will contain invoices from all of our suppliers.

  • No, Tungsten Network ensures that Shaw Industries receives the data you send in a format that will upload to our accounting software and, where applicable, match to a goods receipt record. Offering Shaw Industries an image of the invoice or an option to download the data in a fixed format does not satisfy Shaw’s business processes.

  • You can access the Tungsten Network secure portal and create invoices online using the Web Form. No software installation is required. All you need is an Internet connection and a standard bser.

  • Yes. Once you are subscribed to Tungsten Network, you will be able to send electronic invoices to any other customers that are members of the network.

When you are ready to use your new software, simply advise Tungsten Network of the data output changes and they will make the necessary alterations to ensure a smooth transition and uninterrupted invoice delivery.
