Uploading invoices in mass provides you with a convenient method to export Invoice information out of your billing system and in turn import that information into your customers' accounting system via the Taulia Vendor Portal. Uploading invoices not only saves data entry time, but it also reduces the chances of human error.

5 Furthermore, submitting invoices electronically can reduce Invoice processing times and may allow your invoices to be approved quicker so they are available for Early Payments*. * Early Payments may not be configured by your customer and therefore may not be available to you in the Taulia Vendor Portal. For more information on Early Payments, please see the section titled How Early Payments Work. Exporting Invoice Information from your Billing System Taulia recognizes that there are numerous billing systems that suppliers use and that the export options may differ amongst them. Depending on the export options your billing system offers, you may or may not be able to use the Invoice Upload features in the Taulia Vendor Portal. If you are unable to use one of the two Invoice Upload options listed below, you can still use the Invoice Creation options within the Taulia Vendor Portal to flip PO's into invoices or create a Non- PO Invoice .

6 For detailed instructions on using the Invoice Creation screen to electronically submit invoices to your customer, please reference the Taulia Vendor Portal User Guide . Acceptable File Upload Formats The file format accepted for the two predefined Taulia templates is Comma Separated Value (CSV). However, the self- mapping feature allows you to Upload .CSV as well as Microsoft Excel (XLS. and .XLSX) files. The formatting of certain fields ( date fields) may change when opening and saving your .CSV file with Microsoft Excel. To avoid these formatting changes, we suggest editing your .CSV file with a text editor instead of Microsoft Excel. Invoice Upload Options There a two basic methods of uploading invoices: 1. Formatting your Upload file to match one of the predefined Invoice Upload templates (.CSV file formats only) 2.

7 Using the self- mapping feature within the Vendor Portal to identify the data elements in your structured file (.CSV, .XLS, and .XLSX file formats are permitted). 5 | P a g e T a u l i a V e n d o r P o r t a l U s e r s G u i d e v 1 . 0 2 Invoice Upload Guide Required Invoice Fields Regardless of the method you select for uploading invoices, there are seven required Invoice fields (nine if you are invoicing against a PO) that must be included in your Upload file. If an Upload file does not include these required fields, you will receive an error message and will not be able to Upload your Invoice information. The table below outlines the Invoice fields required for Upload . Additionally, it identifies which fields are required for PO Invoices and which fields may be on a separate row.

If you need to submit a credit note to your customer, please do so using the Invoice Creation options in the Vendor Portal. Invoice Header Information It is important to know whether or not your Upload file has Invoice header information for each Invoice line item, or if Invoice header information is only listed on the first row of each Invoice record.

9 If your Upload file has multiple line items and the Invoice header information is on the first row, then all line item details for that Invoice must be on subsequent rows. Upload files with Invoice header information and line item details on the same row will not Upload correctly and will result in an error. Below is an example of an Invoice Upload file where the Invoice header information is only listed for the first row of each Invoice that has multiple line items. Note that in the example below, invoices with multiple line items have the line item details on a different row than then the Invoice header information. 6 | P a g e T a u l i a V e n d o r P o r t a l U s e r s G u i d e v 1 . 0 2 Invoice Upload Guide Below is an example of an Invoice Upload file where the Invoice header information is listed for each line item.

10 For each Invoice line item, the Invoice number, Invoice date, and currency are also included. The predefined Simplified CSV template requires Invoice header information for each line item and will not work with Upload files that only have Invoice header information on the first row. 7 | P a g e T a u l i a V e n d o r P o r t a l U s e r s G u i d e v 1 . 0 2 Invoice Upload Guide Quick Start Guide 1.
