Yes. Kerry North America is actively phasing out the processing of paper invoices to take advantage of the benefits that electronic invoicing provides to both us and our suppliers. As of February 5th, 2017, use of Tungsten Network e-invoicing has become a formal vendor selection criteria employed by Kerry North America. Although this will not necessarily lead to an immediate disqualification of non-compliant vendors, our expectation is that such suppliers will, over time, inevitably find themselves at a disadvantage.

• Kerry allows single PDF attachment per invoice.

• Password protected attachments are not allowed.

No, the expectation from Kerry North America is that once you receive this notification no further paper invoices should be sent (rejected if still received). This is to prevent any possible duplication. PO’s will become available for invoicing in your account within 2 business days of the RTT notification; please resume invoicing once the PO’s are available.

No, this is to prevent duplicate invoices. The system itself does not allow entering the same number twice.

Once you are subscribed to the network, Tungsten Network enables you to send electronic invoices to any other buyer customers that are members of the network without any additional charge. Click on Customer Connect in your supplier portal to easily locate other buyers.

Please enter only one PO per invoice. Invoices referencing multiple PO’s will be rejected.

Tungsten Network remembers all invoice numbers sent by you to Kerry. This protects both you and Kerry from sending duplicates. Therefore your invoice should always have a unique number, for example 1/2013 and 1/2014 will be accepted.

No, to get an accurate status of your accepted invoices, please visit Kerry’s vendor portal which can be found at https://ap.MySupplierPortal.com/kerry.

When a supplier or Buyer registers to the Tungsten Network portal they have to nominate an administrator, the details of the administrator can be located by clicking on “My Account” and then by clicking on “My Profile” the details will appear at the bottom of the screen.

It is the administrator that can add new users and amend access rights.

Access to the Tungsten Network service, including the Web Form, requires three credential authorizations. In addition, each session is protected by industry standard 128 bit SSL encryption using Class 3 Server Certificates from Verisign. Once your invoice is created it is stored in the secure archive where it is protected by the latest security measures which are tested daily.

This means only authorized users can connect to the site and that once connected, all communications are private and data is completely secure.

The business between you and your customer will continue in the same language. You should continue to send invoices in the same language you normally use.
