Overview
If you are requested to submit electronic invoices through Unimarket, then you have two options:
- Integrate with Unimarket to allow invoices to be sent directly from your system to Unimarket.
- Login to your Unimarket Store to create electronic invoices from the orders you have received. This is called 'Invoice Order', and is also referred to as PO Flip.
E-Invoice integration (cXML)
Electronic invoices can be submitted to Unimarket via https in cXML format. The technical requirements for cXML invoice integration can be found here.
Invoice Order (PO Flip)
The Invoice Order functionality provides suppliers with the ability to create electronic invoices through the Unimarket application. Invoice Order allows suppliers to 'flip' orders they have received from customers into invoices and send them back to the customer for payment. Invoice matching is then completed online 'in the cloud' meaning that the matching status of the invoices can then be viewed via the Supplier Store. If you do not have the invoicing option enabled then please contact support@unimarket.com.
Note: Before you start invoicing customers you will need to setup your invoicing details so the correct remittance information is populated on the invoice. To setup invoicing click the link on the top right of the invoicing page. |
