Catalog suppliers, such as Guy Brown or Fisher Scientific, use an automated invoice process. These suppliers submit a data file to IU which automatically generates invoices in BUY.IU that do not include invoice images. In these situations, the SI document is the invoice and there will be no supplier invoice attached.
As seen below in the General section of the invoice, the Invoice Source field will state “Electronic.”
DO NOT reject these invoices because they do not have a supplier invoice image attached. If the invoice contains incorrect information, contact the supplier. Accounts Payable staff do not have back up documentation for these invoices – the supplier must be contacted directly.
Invoices submitted via the supplier portal will look similarly except the Invoice Source will state “Supplier Portal.” If you need a document for a supplier portal-sourced, invoice reach out to the supplier directly.
Contact Accounts Payable with general invoice questions by submitting a Support Form.
