    What invoicing services are available on Tungsten, and their costs?

    The Tungsten Automation offers two types of invoice delivery via the Tungsten e-Invoice Network; an Integrated Solution and a Web Form solution.

    The Integrated Solution enables suppliers to send their invoice data in any format directly to our accounting system. This integrates your current billing system into Tungsten’s e-Invoice network so that data is transferred without manual intervention; this solution has an annual membership fee plus a transaction fee if you exceed the number of free invoices which this solution offers.

    The Web Form solution allows you to manually enter data into Tungsten e-Invoice Network’s secure online form. If you choose to use the web form solution you are not required to pay a set-up or joining fee to start using this service. You will receive a number of free transactions; if your invoicing requirement exceeds the free transactions, you will be able to purchase more. You can check current fees here.

    The Tungsten e-Invoice Network platform enables suppliers to send any format of invoice data directly from their accounting systems, enter the data online and submit the invoice online in the portal or even easily turn a PO into an invoice.
