Checking invoices in the Supplier Portal
The Supplier Portal is used to view and see the status of invoices.
Council currently receives invoices through multiple channels:
- B2B Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
- fax
- post (paper invoice)
Council is moving towards electronic invoice communications and will be requesting all suppliers to send invoices by email or EDI where possible. These invoices are processed automatically with payments released through electronic funds transfer (EFT) or cheque.
Suppliers can track the payment status of an invoice using the Invoice Status tab of the Supplier Portal.
