[H2] Typical questions we get asked by our prospects during their search for the right supplier
[H4] Can I customise AP automation software to accommodate my specific business rules?

Yes, this is our speciality.
Most of our customers are large global enterprises with many offices in many countries, using different AP systems and processes.
As a result, we do many customisation and unique implementations for customers, both at onboarding and ongoing.
Tradeshift’s platform is designed to be highly extensible, allowing for customisation to meet specific business needs.
Configure business rules, integrate with external services like tax validation, and customize approval processes – all with ease. You can even customise the handling of unplanned costs, using machine learning to automate coding based on predefined thresholds
Tradeshift workflows also have several extensibility points to directly integrate the workflow with customer services or other customer integrations to make the workflows more customized
Additionally, data accuracy can be significantly improved by implementing business firewall rules to ensure that suppliers adhere to your business processes.

[H4] Give me more detail on the customisations and customer-specific configurations you can do

Many validations are built-in and standard such as invoice duplicate number detection, invoice recipient selection, invoice date, payment date, currency validation, etc.
However, a key differentiator that Tradeshift offers is the Business Firewall.
It provides validation on your all documents (e.g. invoices) before they even arrive in your Tradeshift account. This ensures that potential errors and omissions are caught before an invoice is presented for early payment.
This ensures the quality of incoming data. Typically the rules are buyer business entity and/or supplier group specific although default rules can be applied to all suppliers. These rules are defined by the receiving organization and only applied on inbound documents.
The Business Firewall contains user-defined rules to validate incoming documents. They are rules that define what is required on the different document types (invoices, credit notes etc.) in order .
There are two types of validation against rules, static validation and dynamic validation.
Static Validation — Static validation allows user to choose what fields in the document are required, optional or not allowed. Regular expressions can be used to enforce a specific format or static values of these fields. For example, purchase order number on an invoice must start with the letters PO and be 8 digits long in total. Another rule could be that VAT number is required on all invoices from suppliers in countries X, Y, and Z.
Static validation can be branch, document type and supplier specific. Static validation does not require an interface between customer IT and Tradeshift as they are configured and maintained in Tradeshift product by Tradeshift staff.
Dynamic validation allows users to validate the contents of selected fields. Users define what fields are to be validated and provide the values that the field contents are validated against. Typically the rules are only used to validate contents of fields that allow workflow/ERP to achieve higher levels of automation. For example, location IDs provided on an invoice must match a list of valid IDs provided by the buyer organization. Dynamic validation can be branch specific.
The Business Firewall is kept on every branch instead of the master branch. There is a function to copy a new set-up to all branches.

[H4] Can AP automation software integrate with my ERP and accounting systems?

Yes.
Tradeshift’s AP automation solution integrates seamlessly with any existing ERP and financial system.
Tradeshift offers various methods to integrate your systems directly, including a simple and fast-to-implement REST-based API that allows for the exchange of business documents and access to a wide range of functionalities.
We have built standard connectors for common ERP systems such as SAP ECC 6.0, SAP S4/HANA, Oracle eBusiness Suite, and Oracle Fusion.
However, the power of Tradeshift is in the flexibility of our middleware. Tradeshift can take any input, transform, and pass to any output!
Many of our customers have implemented subtle changes to their data model, and need some level of customisation.
Tradeshift supports this through a simple mapping UX.

[H4] How easy is it to set up and configure Tradeshift’s AP automation software?

Setting up and configuring Tradeshift’s AP automation solution is designed to be a straightforward process, supported by a modern and intuitive user interface.
Our team works closely with your organisation to ensure a smooth transition. We start by setting up your account on the Tradeshift network and configuring it with data validation rules to avoid invoice exceptions.
We also build a custom pathway that fits into your existing AP workflow, allowing for minimal disruption to your operations.
Additionally, we assist in connecting and onboarding your suppliers to the Tradeshift network, ensuring that they are ready to send invoices digitally. Our First Invoice Onboarding capabilities enable suppliers to begin the onboarding process simply by sending a PDF invoice to a dedicated email address we set up for you.
Our dedicated supplier onboarding team manages the entire process and is on hand to help suppliers with specific questions. We also have a highly skilled technical team ready to support suppliers with more complex integration needs.
Once set up, you’ll have access to Tradeshift University for training and development, as well as 365-day support to address any issues that may arise.

[H4] We already use an ERP. Why would I benefit from a dedicated AP automation solution?

Integrating an AP automation solution with your ERP can enhance your capabilities without replacing your current systems.
Tradeshift complements your existing ERP system by providing a digital platform for your business transactions with other companies.
It offers a range of services such as e-Invoicing, AP automation, and e-procurement, which can help streamline your processes, improve collaboration with suppliers, and ensure compliance with global tax regulations.
Additionally, Tradeshift’s network connects you with millions of companies worldwide, potentially opening up new business opportunities.

[H4] How does Tradeshift’s AP automation solution capture invoices from OCR platforms?

ScanIO enables you to receive business documents (e.g., invoices, and credit notes) from suppliers via multiple buyer-endorsed sources, such as Scanning Partners and value-added networks (VANs).
The app accepts TS:UBL files. Conversion from other formats to TS:UBL happens either through Babelway, Tradeshift’s integration middleware, or other interoperability partners.
The app validates incoming documents for technical correctness and allows for manual correction of errors through its interface.

[H4] What implementation services do you offer?

Extensive services are offered, including:
1 – Project Advisory – Ensuring that the Customer has confidence in the fact that the project has the necessary executive support & leadership
2 – Project Management – Providing the Customer a project manager to lead the project implementation successfully from Kick-Off to Go-Live.
3 – Compliance – Supporting the Customer with guidance and advice in compliance matters associated with VAT and e-Invoicing.
4 – Configuration – Setting up the Customer account on Tradeshift and ensuring that the relevant business processes are implemented.
5 – Integration – Assisting the Customer’s technical team integrating their backend systems with the Tradeshift platform.
6 – Quality Assurance and Testing Support – Supporting the Customer in testing activities, specifically in regards to User Acceptance Test (UAT).
7 – Training – Training the Customer’s users and partners on the Tradeshift Solution in order to optimize usage as well as making the Customer self-sufficient long-term.
8 – Change Management – Helping the Customer navigate through the change process upon the implementation of Tradeshift and the change to the business processes.

[H4] Do you provide document archiving?

Tradeshift, in combination with its partners, offers compliance with all local regulatory requirements, including archiving.
The Tradeshift platform conforms to the assurances outlined in the International Standard report on Assurance Engagements 3402 which includes controls and procedures for data storage and archiving.
We also have the technical capability to integrate to a digital archiving system by leveraging the combination of open APIs and our own middleware application (Tradeshift Link).

[H4] What about your security and resilience?

As you would expect, we take this very seriously.
Our platform is hosted on AWS.

[H4] Do you provide content validation of invoices?

Tradeshift has a service called Business Firewall (BFR). The BFR validates documents against different sets of conditions so that invalid documents are prevented from reaching the buyer, giving a chance for the seller to correct the issue and resend the document. In addition the rules can also be set on outgoing documents to prevent invalid documents to be sent to the supplier.

[H4] Are you certified for SSO? (single sign on)

Yes, we are SSO certified.

[H4] Do you have buyer-supplier chat?

Yes.
The Tradeshift Platform includes a collaboration chat feature which is available at transaction-level.
It allows a user on CLIENT-side to start a chat internally or externally with the Supplier on a specific invoice issue for instance.
Conversely, also the Supplier can start a chat with CLIENT around an invoice approval delay for instance. When the supplier starts the conversation, it goes to the invoice assignee.When CLIENT starts the conversation, the user can choose which colleagues to add on the loop.
Besides, Tradeshift virtual assistant (named Ada) is suggesting CLIENT users which colleagues to ask questions to based on machine learning.In addition to people, users can add attachments to this collaboration ch

[H4] Argentina
Quick InfoType of Compliance: Clearance
Document Storage Requirement: 10 years
Argentina’s Federal Administration of Public Taxes(AFIP) completed implementing clearance requirements in 2019 after the initial introduction in 2015. In 2021 AFIP introduced the requirement to include QR Codes on digital invoices. The clearance requirement is for suppliers to register all invoices with AFIP before sending them to customers. Invoices are provided a unique CAE(Electronic Authorisation Code) and a QR Code. There are penalties for late filings or mis-declarations which puts a responsibility on the invoice receiver to validate the invoice using the CAE Code with AFIP.
