What is E-Invoicing

The E-Invoicing project aims at the electronic invoice exchange between Siemens Energy and it’s supplier community & suppliers.

SupplyOn supports invoicing by: 

  • Transferring data automatically from previous purchase orders to invoices (PO flip).
  • Checking the invoice data before the invoice is sent to Siemens Energy.

The invoicing process can be outlined as follows: Most of the invoice data is taken automatically from a purchase order and the available delivery schedules from the system. Only a small subset of data, for example tax information, has to be added manually.

Alternatively, the invoice data can also be exported and uploaded from your own system.

The invoice data is validated and checked for correctness. Errors are reported in order to ensure that only valid invoices are transferred to Siemens Energy. Additional process steps, such as inclusion of a digital signature, are performed if necessary.

Sending electronic invoices is much more secure than using the conventional method. SupplyOn offers a secure system, which uses the most modern methods of user authentication, encryption and, if necessary, digital signature. The documents are sent in encrypted form, to ensure that the data cannot be read by any third parties. Only authorized users can access the documents.

Please contact our Customer Support (customer-support@supplyon.com) providing the invoice number and the invoice date.

Yes, the invoice can be generated in the internal system and sent to Siemens Energy via SupplyOn. The invoice data can either be uploaded in CSV format. In case of direct integration via EDI, the data can also be exchanged in EDIFACT format.

Under special cases, you also have the option of sending PDF invoices to SupplyOn by e-mail. Please contact us via electronic.invoice@siemens-energy.com for more information.

Responsibility for the accuracy of the invoice lies with the invoicing party (supplier).

Within the EU, electronic invoices are treated in the same way as paper invoices. Outside of the EU, special country specific requirements may exist for electronic invoices, which you can request from your financial authorities.
