麻豆约拍

The 麻豆约拍 encourages all suppliers to use electronic invoicing and currently receives thousands of invoices electronically each month, from hundreds of suppliers, delivering proven benefits of faster, more effective invoice processing to both suppliers and the 麻豆约拍. The benefits are:

• Reduced postage and printing costs
• An end to lost or misplaced invoices
• Mitigation of payment delays to our suppliers as the invoices have no compliance issues and are received straight into the 麻豆约拍 finance system once submitted
• Eliminate paper usage from the purchase to pay process, in line with environmental best practice

Our e-invoicing partners are Tungsten Network (earlier OB10) and Ariba Network, and our suppliers will need to register with one of these partners in order to submit electronic invoices. The selection of the most appropriate network service naturally rests with you and Tungsten/Ariba Network will handle any the necessary technical and commercial steps needed to establish your account.

There are two core methods that both of our partners use to enable touchless electronic receipt of your invoice by the 麻豆约拍:

1. Suppliers with low volumes of invoices can use 'PO Convert/Flip' functionality. This entails a simple 'click' conversion of your 麻豆约拍 PO into a fully compliant electronic invoice which is posted directly in to the 麻豆约拍 finance system. Tungsten provide this option at no cost to 麻豆约拍 suppliers

2. Suppliers with high invoice volumes can take advantage of a technically integrated solution that fully automates electronic invoice submission between Supplier and 麻豆约拍

Tungsten

Tungsten Network Integrated Solution

If you generate high invoice volumes, you can use the Tungsten Integrated Solution, which is a file submission service. There is a fee associated with this service as it carries the benefit of allowing you to automate the creation and dispatch of your e-invoices to the 麻豆约拍.

Ariba Network

The more advanced options allow integration with almost any ERP system you may operate.

The 'headline' benefits you should expect from your use of Ariba include standardised compliant order & invoice transactions, automated prompts and 24/7 access to document notifications & status updates as well as a lower occurrence in invoice rejections, decreasing late payments

Ariba Network submission options

PO Flipping

Suppliers can send invoices via Ariba Webform by flipping the PO. Invoice is automatically pre-populated with the PO data.

CSV Solution

Suppliers can upload their invoices in CSV (comma separated value) format via Ariba Network. It provides an effective mean for Suppliers with a large number of invoices to submit these electronically when they do not have the immediate means to provide these via cXML or EDI directly.

Integrated Solution

Supplier can integrate via adaptor (EDIFACT, X12, cXML). Touch less; Integration is two-way, machine-to-machine communication that fully automates transactions between Supplier and 麻豆约拍.
