eInvoicing
Want to take steps to get paid quicker and submit your invoices in a way that doesn't involve paper, postage or manual handling?

What is e-Invoicing?
Electronic invoicing is the transfer of an invoice document through an electronic format between the supplier and buyer, directly entering the buyer's accounts payable ledger without any manual intervention such as data entry or invoice validation.
Sending invoices via email or fax is not considered electronic invoicing.
