The Truth About Onboarding Suppliers and Guaranteeing E Invoicing Success
24th September 2009 - London

The idea of a Purchase to Pay organisation shifting from manual to pure electronic can often be greeted with uncertainty and sometimes a sense of dread, simply because of the confusion around VAT regulations and the legal treatment of purchase invoices. Furthermore, there is the daunting issue of supplier onboarding. Are you asking yourself any of the following questions:

1. How can Finance successfully work with Procurement to engage suppliers?
2. With a vendor base of 5,000 plus, how can we possibly manage to get them all suppliers connected to our e-invoicing solution?
3. We have heard horror stories of only 20% conversion to electronic, and an ROI taking well over 5 years. What can we do to ensure an 85% conversion and an ROI in 12 months?
4. What level of resource do we need to invest into this to make this a success?
5. When we onboard suppliers, what can we mandate and how do we treat suppliers that refuse to convert?
6. How can I be sure that when we are audited, the VAT reclaim process we follow with e-invoicing is actually legal and we won’t be fined?
7. What solution approach will best serve our business requirements – one hub? A roaming arrangement? A point to point solution or a third party service provider?

If any of the above resonate with you, we recommend you book on to this one day masterclass which will ensure that you leave with the following:

1. Clarity on what your solution selection approach should be
2. Confidence on your readiness for electronic invoicing
3. A plan on how to most effectively communicate with your supplier base
4. A full understanding of who in the organisation needs to be engaged, why they need to be bought in, and how you can most effectively do this
5. Knowledge on what must be included in your business case
6. Insight into what conversion is really possible
7. Clarity on how to manage the residual paper

Places are limited as this is an interactive Masterclass with some ‘one on one’ sessions. You are asked to bring a printed copy of your top 500 suppliers and their annual volumes for the purpose of your Individual e-Invoicing Plan.

This is a unique opportunity to spend a day with other practitioners who are implementing e-invoicing (maybe some of your suppliers will be there! You will be able to let them know immediately of your e-invoicing intentions!).
