Tungsten e-Invoice Network
Tungsten invoices,
in and tracked.
Large buyers in the US and Europe require suppliers to invoice through Tungsten Network and reject paper. Alder submits, fixes and follows those invoices so they get paid.
Hire AlderYou set the rules. Alder follows through.
In short
Alder is an AI employee that submits supplier invoices through Tungsten Network, the e-invoicing network from Tungsten Automation (formerly Kofax). It signs in to your Tungsten portal account, creates each invoice online with the customer’s PO and required fields, and submits it. When the customer rejects an invoice, Alder reads the reason, corrects it and resubmits it with your approval, then tracks status to payment and records it in your ERP.
- Invoices raised online in the Tungsten portal
- Customer-specific fields and PO numbers checked
- Rejections corrected and resubmitted
- Status followed and noted in your ERP
Why it gets stuck
Why Tungsten invoices bounce
Paper and PDFs refused
Customers that move to Tungsten often reject invoices sent any other way. An emailed PDF can mean an invoice that was never received.
Required fields per buyer
Each buyer sets its own rules for PO numbers, tax and reference fields. Miss one and the invoice is rejected.
Rejections in one inbox
Rejection notices go to the account’s registered email. If no one acts, the invoice is never resubmitted.
Status in the portal only
Tungsten shows invoice status online, but someone has to sign in and check each buyer.
How Alder handles it
Alder works Tungsten for every buyer you invoice there.
Signs in to Tungsten
Alder uses your existing Tungsten Network account. Security codes come to you; Alder never sees your password.
Raises the invoice online
It creates the invoice for the right buyer, with the PO number and the fields that buyer requires, and attaches supporting documents.
Fixes rejections
When an invoice is rejected, Alder reads the reason, corrects it and resubmits, asking you first if the amount changes.
Tracks it to payment
It checks status until the invoice is approved and paid, and records each change in your ERP.
Questions
What is Tungsten Network?
Tungsten Network is an e-invoicing network that connects buyers and suppliers. It is now part of Tungsten Automation, the company formerly called Kofax. Suppliers can send invoices from their accounting system or create them online in the Tungsten portal.
Why was my Tungsten invoice rejected?
Usually because a field the buyer requires is missing or wrong: the PO number, a tax value, a reference code or the remit-to details. The rejection notice gives the reason; correct it and resubmit through Tungsten.
Will Alder submit Tungsten invoices without my approval?
Only the ones you allow. You decide which invoices Alder submits on its own and which wait for a person. Corrections that change an amount, credits and anything unusual come to you first.
Which ERPs does Alder connect to?
Alder reads invoices and PDFs from NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks and Epicor, and writes each Tungsten status back to the same record, so your team never has to log in to check.
