E-Invoice

E-Invoice is available for supplier purchase orders only.  E-Invoice is completely paperless and reduces the procurement cycle time by eliminating physical mail. Participation is highly encouraged and provides the following supplier benefits:

  • Faster, more reliable invoice submittal
  • Faster payment, reduced cycle time
  • Online payment status availability
  • Security of invoice and payment detail
  • Ability to get paid early with optional Dynamic Discount Payment Terms

E-Invoice facilitates Sandia’s mission to provide efficient stewardship of taxpayer resources. Sandia also encourages use of paperless processing by using Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments.

Suppliers need to have an iSupplier portal username and password to submit invoices electronically. Usernames and passwords are typically established upon the supplier’s completion of their iSupplier portal registration. If the supplier does not have a user account established or needs password or login assistance, email supreg@sandia.gov to request access. Multiple user accounts can be established for each supplier.

3. Compare ‘Invoiced’ and ‘Ordered’ quantities to determine which PO line has available unbilled quantities to bill against. If the ‘Invoiced’ and ‘Ordered’ quantities are the same, the PO line is fully billed and you will not be able to apply a billed quantity to it in Step 2 of 4.

Select Line(s) for billing by checking box to the left of the PO Line(s), then click ‘Add to Invoice’. The PO Line(s) added will display at the bottom of the screen. If you are not sure which Line to bill, contact your buyer.

Input details (step 2 of 4)

For this Step, see below for detailed instructions related to reference fields 1: through 9: . Proceed through the following fields in order. DO NOT input data in any other fields or you may get an error message.

1: Remit To

This value will pre-populate with the address associated with your PO. Please review and change the remit to site if needed.

To select a different remit to/address, delete the information in the Remit To field, input “%” then click on the magnifying glass. This will query a list of remit to sites and addresses associated with your supplier record.

From the list of remit to sites, click the ‘Quick Select’ icon to select the correct remittance address. If your address is not listed and needs to be added, visit the Supplier Registration page or contact isupplier@sandia.gov for assistance.

2: Remit To Bank Account

Note: This field pertains to suppliers with a U.S. bank account. If your bank is located outside of the U.S., your E-Invoice will be paid via bank Wire Transfer based on the banking information (e.g. SWIFT code, IBAN, bank account number, etc) provided on your invoice image you attach in section 9:

If the Remit To address selected in section 1: is setup for EFT payments in our system, you will need to populate the Remit To Bank Account field with your U.S. bank account number by searching for and selecting your bank account number that is on file.

To search for your bank account, click on the magnifying icon to display the Bank Account Number search screen.

When the search screen displays, click ‘Go’ to view the U.S. bank account associated with the Remit To address.

In the Results section, click the Quick Select icon to select the bank account.

If U.S. banking information is not found, then EFT banking information does not exist in our system for the Remit To address selected and you will receive a check payment. If you would like to add EFT banking information to a Remit To address, please complete the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments form and add the completed form as an attachment to your supplier profile. For more information, visit the Supplier Registration page or contact isupplier@sandia.gov for assistance.

3: Invoice Number

Enter your invoice number and invoice date (usually created from your accounting system).

4: Invoice Type

This value will default to “Invoice”. For credit memo invoices, please select the “Credit Memo” option from the dropdown and enter negative quantity values on the PO lines in section 7:

5: Invoice Description

Optional field but recommended. This information will be reflected on your payment remittance advice.

6: Customer Tax Payer ID

This field will be auto-populated with data that displays “SYS11976”. **DO NOT change the data in this field.** The data pertains to Sandia National Laboratories.

7: Quantity

Enter Quantity for each PO line.

If the amount in the “Available Quantity“ field represents a dollar value, then input the dollar value of the invoice in the “Quantity“ field.

If the amount in the “Available Quantity“ field represents a unit value (e.g 1 unit “Available Quantity“ at a “Unit Price“ of 50000), then input the unit value of the invoice in the “Quantity“ field and the dollar amount will automatically calculate in the “Amount” column.

You may need to enter a fractional unit value if you plan to incrementally bill a PO line that is setup as a unit value; or contact your Buyer and request the PO line setup be changed to “dollar value“ instead of “unit value“. If the field in the Available Quantity is blank and does not contain an amount, then it indicates the PO line is already fully billed.

8: Available Invoice Terms

Suppliers have the option to receive early payment by selecting available discounts that display in this section. Only discounts with early payment terms that are more favorable than the PO’s negotiated payment terms will be available for selection.

The supplier can select the radio button of each of the available terms to view the Estimated Discount and Estimated Payment to aide in determining which discount is preferred. The supplier also has the option to select ‘Use Current PO Terms’, which is the defaulted selection. If nothing is selected in this section, the defaulted PO terms will be used.

9: Required Documentation

Note: It is mandatory to upload a copy of the original detailed invoice, as well as additional supporting documentation for each cost element being invoiced as authorized in the PO. If invoice and/or supporting documentation are not attached, delay of payment could occur.

It is required that original invoice documents, as well as any supporting documents authorizing the billed invoice amount, be uploaded with your E-Invoice. Oracle will allow attachment of most major file types.

To upload a copy of the original invoice document, click the plus (+) icon in the “Original Invoice” section; the ‘Add Attachment’ window will pop-up.
