INVOICE MANAGEMENT

About the Invoice


• Vendors create their Invoices as per their current method.
• VF sends the Approved Invoice from its ERP system (Middleware) to Infor Nexus in the XML format.
• Lead time for uploading the Approved Invoices to Infor Nexus: 3-5 days on average before the Vendor can view
the Invoice in Infor Nexus. VF holds the Invoice in NGC for 3 days to allow any changes before it is sent to SAP.
Invoices are loaded daily from SAP to Infor Nexus.
• The Invoice is processed as an Invoice Presentment (IP) on the Platform, which means no order is involved in
the Invoice.
• The Invoice is auto-activated on behalf of the Vendor on the Platform, with standard terms and conditions
automatically accepted.
Note: No amendment or cancellation is accepted from the Vendor.
• The Invoice Number is unique and will be the SAP Invoice Number.
• Adjustments are included in the Invoice from VF ERP. Adjustments are netted and applied to the subsequent
Invoice.
• Invoices are consolidated into payments, based upon the following logic: Batch ID = Company Code + Currency
+ System ID (SAP Platform) + Seller Alt ID (Vendor Number)+ Payment Date.
• The Invoice PDF is available for download on the Invoice Preview page.
Do not make any adjustments to the Invoice Auto-approval task flow, which causes delays in having Invoices
automatically approved and in scheduling payments.
