E-Invoice Connect
E-Invoice Connect is a single connection point to send and receive electronic invoices. It automatically converts invoices to the format required by buyers, transfers them to the correct receiver in the correct way and eliminates manual work and errors. E-Invoice Connect simplifies invoice processing by connecting you to hundreds of thousands of companies that are already connected and exchanging e-invoices.
Tungsten AP Essentials accepts invoices from E-Invoice Connect via Email input services. E-Invoice Connect can be a beneficial input method because it accepts more XML invoice formats than AP Essentials. By default, communication between AP Essentials and E-Invoice Connect is one way: E-Invoice Connect sends invoices to AP Essentials, and AP Essentials processes them without communicating the results back to E-Invoice Connect. However, you can enable notifications in the E-Invoice Connect service in AP Essentials to send invoice status information back to E-Invoice Connect. This is helpful because it provides feedback to suppliers that have submitted invoices to E-Invoice Connect. Two-way communication between AP Essentials and E-Invoice Connect is not required and not enabled by default.
