Vanderlande are currently implementing the next stage of electronic invoicing with Tungsten Network

Tungsten Network is a global electronic invoicing network. Tungsten Network’s e-Invoicing platform enables suppliers to send invoice data directly from their accounting systems in any format to customers who are enrolled on the Tungsten Network.

Tungsten Network’s ‘any-to-any’ solution handles all the data mapping requirements and ensures that all supplier invoices are delivered in the format that a customer’s accounts payable system requires.

Tungsten Network is actively phasing out the processing of paper invoices to take advantage of the benefits that electronic invoicing provides to our business and our suppliers. Eventually this will be the only way that you will be able to submit invoices and receive payment.

Suppliers using the Web Form to submit invoices can convert a PO into an invoice to ensure invoice and PO information is synchronised.

Tungsten Network is web-based, therefore all you require to access the e-Invoicing platform is a bser and internet access.

For existing contracts, Tungsten Network will prioritise payment of electronic invoices over paper invoices. In the near future submitting invoices via the network will be the only way that Tungsten Network will accept delivery of invoices from suppliers.

Tungsten Network will include terms and conditions in contracts that will require suppliers to use the network to send invoices.

Your use of Tungsten Network will ensure that we continue to pay you on time. In addition, you will receive notification when your invoice has been received by us along with the status of your invoice.

The membership fee covers the cost to Tungsten Network for setting you up on their network and the general costs of maintaining the network. The membership fee is an annual cost regardless of the number of customers that you invoice via the network.

Tungsten Network is not a payment platform. Tungsten Network will continue to pay suppliers using the current payment method.

If you select the Integrated Solution you will sign a supplier specific agreement with Tungsten Network. If you choose the Web Form solution you will be required to accept Tungsten Network’s standard terms and conditions.

Electronic invoicing applies to all countries where Tungsten Network are tax compliant.

The implementation of e-Invoicing will be managed on behalf by Tungsten Network. In the first instance you should contact Tungsten Network to discuss your queries for the Integrated Solution.

If you print invoices generated by any invoicing system, you can send invoice data files to Tungsten Network using the Integrated Solution. If you raise invoices manually (Word, Excel etc.) you can access Tungsten’s e-Invoicing platform via the secure web site and create invoices online using the Web Form. No software installation is required; all you need is an internet connection and standard user.

Once you are set-up and ready to transact via the network, Tungsten Network will send you an alert to notify you that you are ready to submit invoices to our accounts department.

Tungsten Network allows you to send electronic invoices to any other customers that are using the network once you have enrolled.

For the Integrated Solution, Tungsten Network can accept data files in any format covering as many customers as you require. Tungsten Network will agree with you how each customer is identified in your data file and will then deliver each transaction to the correct customer

Tungsten Network accepts any incoming data format therefore you should join the network as soon as possible and send your invoices now to ensure your payments are not interrupted. You can simply advise Tungsten of the changes when you are ready to use your new software. They will make the necessary changes without interruption of invoice delivery.
