2 Introduction

Dear Supplier, thank you for providing goods or services to Accenture


Denmark. Accenture always aims to pay suppliers on time, within the
payment terms that have been agreed, and will also follow local government
regulations where applicable. This can only be achieved with the co-
operation of our suppliers – please follow the guidelines outlined in this
document to ensure that we can meet these targets.

2.1 Establishing and Maintaining Your Accenture Supplier Profile


• Please make sure the contact and payment information Accenture has on file
is always current. If your mailing address, Purchase Order (PO) receipt email
address, contact information, bank information, or phone numbers change,
please notify Accenture immediately by e-mailing
[email protected] OR by updating the details in your
company’s profile in the Supplier Hub.
• If you haven’t yet created your company’s profile in Accenture Supplier Hub,
please reach out to Accenture immediately by contacting
[email protected] and you will be provided with guidance
and a link to the Accenture Supplier Hub.

2.2 Credit Terms


• Accenture’s standard payment terms are 60 days from the invoice date,
unless alternative payment terms have been agreed in writing with Accenture
Procurement Plus. Please ensure that the invoice due date on the invoice is
stated accordingly.

2.3 Preparing Invoices for Accenture


Please include all of the following information on the invoice:
• Your full legal Name, Address, VAT Number and contact details of your finance
team for us to communicate in case of any queries.
• Invoice number / applicable reference number, Invoice date, Tax Identification
# (if relevant), Total amount to be paid, and detailed description of the goods
or services that were delivered or rendered.
• E-mail address of the Accenture contact who requested the goods or services.
Note: This employee will be asked to confirm receipt of the goods or service
and verify the accuracy of the invoice before the payment can be released. This
is essential if no PO number has been provided.
• Accenture Purchase Order (PO) number beginning with 60XXXXXXXX or
76XXXXXXXX on the invoices (where the goods & services are provided
against a PO). Note: Accenture will not be liable for late payment fees if a PO
number has been provided to the supplier but not included on the invoice.
• Your complete banking details (Sort code, Swift Code, Account #, IBAN, etc)
• Accenture VAT Number DK13227500
• Accenture Bill to Address (including Accenture Legal Entity):

Accounts Payable Department
Bohrsgade 35,
1799 København V
VAT: DK13227500

• Subcontractor invoices should be supported by copies of signed timesheets


(wherever applicable).
• If you are issuing a credit note against a cancelled invoice, kindly quote the
corresponding invoice reference against which the credit note is being issued;
alternatively, please quote complete details for issuance of the credit note to
enable us to account for it appropriately.

2.4 Special Instructions for Purchase Order (PO) Invoices


• If you are providing goods and services to Accenture under more than one PO,
you must invoice for each PO separately. Only one PO can be referenced per
invoice.
• The details and item-wise breakup on the invoice must match exactly with the
description noted on the PO. (For example, the ‘Bill To’ address must match
exactly that outlined in the PO). Always reference the appropriate PO line item
number for each line item on the invoice.
• Please note that a Purchase Requisition Number (“PRXXXXX”) will not be
accepted, please quote only a valid PO number (eg “60xxxxxxxx”).
• Invoice value /quantity should not exceed the PO value/quantity. In case of
any issues please contact your Accenture requestor to update the PO as
required.

2.5 Submitting Invoices to Accenture


NOTE: The below instructions are intended for vendors who submit invoices
manually, not using a specific tool (eg IQN, Ariba Network etc).

• Suppliers are requested to issue all invoices on a timely basis – at the latest
within 30 days after the month in which the associated goods or services were
performed or in which such fees, costs, expenses or charges were incurred.
• Kindly submit all invoices within 5 business days from the invoice date.
• A reconciliation exercise should be completed by the supplier on at least an
annual basis to ensure there are no outstanding invoices unpaid.
• Failure to issue or submit invoices on a timely basis may result in payments
being delayed. In no event shall Accenture be liable for any fees, costs,
expenses or other charges where invoices are not submitted accurately or
in a timely manner.
• Please send a soft copy of the invoice (s) directly to
[email protected] in a non-manipulative format e.g. PDF, TIF.
• Please submit 1 PDF document per invoice. Ensure that all supporting
information related to a particular invoice is in 1 PDF file only, with the invoice
being the 1st page and any other relevant supporting information on the
subsequent pages.

pg. 4
• Max 1MB per attachment, Max 20 attachments per mail and Max 10MB per
email (including attachments). Do not encrypt or digitally sign the emails.
• You will receive a notification on successful submission / rejection of the
invoice which will indicate our invoice tracking number (URN#). This URN#
should be used as a reference in all communications regarding your invoice.
• Please check with customer support team (see section 2.7) before re-
submitting any invoices that were submitted earlier. Invoices sent to personal
mailboxes or directly to Accenture employees will be deemed as not
received.
• Please do not submit original invoices to the Accenture employee who
requested the goods or services. If you need to send a copy of the invoice to
your contact at their request, please clearly indicate on the invoice that it is a
copy and has already been submitted to Payables. This will help to prevent
duplication in our systems and prevent payment delays.
• If for any reason you are not able to email the invoices, invoices can be posted
/ delivered to the above mentioned ‘Bill To’ Address – please do not send
directly to your Accenture contact.

2.5.1 Other Systems Used for Invoice Submissions


Accenture also accepts invoices via other invoicing tools – if this applies, you should
already have been contacted by Accenture separately and provided with all relevant
training in these tools:

fully integrated & linked to supplier ERP systems.
