Welcome to electronic invoicing for HH Global

Shortly, this will be the primary way that HH Global accepts delivery of supplier invoices.

To start using the Tungsten Network, all you need to do is register now, using the Registration Key or TN Number given to you by your customer. Once registered, all suppliers using this option automatically receive 52 free transactions. At the end of your first anniversary (one year after registration), we will replenish your account, at no charge, back to 52 free invoices for you to use during the next 12 months.

If you are registered in one of the countries below and intend to store your invoices for tax reclaim on the Tungsten invoice archive you will need to notify your local tax authority. Tungsten provides a standard wording you can use to provide this notification. A link to a copy of the notification template will be emailed to you.

Yes, part of the registration process is that you have to accept required standard terms and conditions given. Once you do it, the expectation from HH Global is that you will stop submitting paper invoices (rejected if still received) and submit all invoices via Tungsten.

Depending on the solution selected, you will either sign a specific agreement with Tungsten or be required to accept the standard terms and conditions presented.

No. Additional software or hardware is NOT required. You only need a connection to the internet to send e-invoices via the Tungsten Network.

The minimum operating system requirements are: Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition, Linux or Mac OS 9.2*.

Minimum browser requirements are: Version 9 of Internet Explorer and the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

You can send invoices directly from your billing system in any format you choose. To do this you will need to become an Integrated Solution Supplier on the Tungsten Network.
Please email [email protected] to begin registration.

Yes. As of 2020 use of Tungsten e-invoicing will become a formal vendor selection criteria employed by HH Global.

1. Your PO was created within last 24 hours. The system is scheduled to copy all new POs once a day and then to transmit it to TUNGSTEN during the night. There is no live relationship between SRM and TUNGSTEN therefore all PO copies appear on TUNGSTEN supplier profiles 24 hours later.
2. There is a real mapping issue. In this case contact TUNGSTEN support to get it fixed and connect your company to the right entity.

Please refer to the pricing model.
