Visa account payable for North America guidelines

To fulfill our vision of automating transmission of purchase orders and invoices, we have partnered with Ariba, an SAP company, to transact business electronically through the Ariba^® Network. To maintain a strong ongoing business relationship, Visa is paying 100% of the supplier’s enrollment fees to use the Ariba^® Network. You, the Supplier, will benefit from less manual work to transmit invoices and faster payment. Transacting electronically on the Ariba^® Network will be a standard part of doing business with us and we are excited to work with you on this e-commerce journey.

The Visa Supplier Information Portal and SAP Business Network Supplier Learning Portal provides detailed step-by-step documentation including education materials about managing your account and transacting with Visa on the Ariba® Network.

For Visa to process an invoice, Suppliers are required to submit the following:

• Official non-editable invoices for processing, adhering to local regulatory requirements;
• Invoices following Visa Order instructions with the appropriate Visa entity as the “Bill To”; and
• Invoice details must include:
  • unique invoice number,
  • invoice date,
  • contractually agreed payment terms and currency,
  • applicable Visa Order number and line number,
  • Visa contact information,
  • supplier contact information,
  • the remittance address,
  • a description of services (matching to the Visa Order),
  • the service period, and
  • banking payment information

What is the difference between a Light Account and a Fully Enabled Account?	A fully enabled account provides you with a consolidated view of all your customer relationships. With this one profile, you can view business opportunities, participate in sourcing events, participate in contract negotiations, and manage orders, catalogs, and invoices. You can also electronically invoice directly in the Ariba® Network. A Light Account only allows you to receive an electronic Purchase Order and create an electronic invoice directly to your customer.
