1 Pfizer Inc 6730 Lenox Center Court Memphis, TN 38115 Julie Lord Global Financial Solutions February 2010 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you that Pfizer is implementing an electronic invoicing (eInvoicing) program which you will be required to use for submitting invoices moving forward. This change supports Pfizer s strategy to optimize financial processing while providing value-added services to our customers. EInvoicing presents a variety of benefits including the reduction of collections and administrative costs, facilitation of timely and predictable payments and elimination of paper invoicing. There is a minimal cost associated with eInvoicing for both you and Pfizer.

2 However, our expectation is that the benefits of the system will offset the cost. You may begin submitting eInvoices to Pfizer Accounts Payable immediately using the process described on the following pages. Effective March 31, 2010, invoices sent to Pfizer Accounts Payable must be submitted as eInvoices; paper invoices received after this date will not be accepted. If your volume necessitates the creation of an automated interface, alternate deadlines will apply (see Integrated Solution Deadlines below). To facilitate your transition to eInvoicing and to manage the process going forward, Pfizer has partnered with OB10, a third-party eInvoicing service provider.

3 OB10 offers flexible options for submitting invoices that accommodate a wide variety of supplier sizes, systems, and processing needs. An OB10 representative will contact you in the next few days to explain the options available and assist you in the transition to eInvoicing. In the meantime, you may obtain further information via the following information sheets and online at To enroll in the eInvoicing process or inquire about the OB10 eInvoicing solution, please contact OB10 at If you would like to contact Pfizer about this request, please email Thank you in advance for your support of eInvoicing.
