In the dynamic and competitive non-automotive industry, efficiency and accuracy in Invoicing are essential for maintaining smooth operations and strong supplier relationships.
Adopting EDIFACT for Invoicing offers Volvo Group suppliers a range of benefits, from improved efficiency and accuracy to cost savings and environmental sustainability. By embracing this standardized electronic data interchange format, suppliers can enhance their operational effectiveness and strengthen their partnership with Volvo Group.
To connect the Volvo Group plants to EDI, the Supplier should contact the Volvo Group buyer.
The Supplier can also request connection to EDI by filling out the request below.
The INVOICE is an electronic payment message that includes information from the order. It replaces the traditional paper/PDF Invoice. Since customer shipments can vary based on the goods and services provided, the EDI Team is testing one Invoice per customer to ensure high data quality.
Until the EDI Invoice is established for a specific Volvo Group plant, Suppliers should continue sending their Invoices via paper/PDF. Once the Volvo Group plant is connected to the EDI Invoice, a switch from paper/PDF to EDI Invoices will occur. The EDI Team will send a production email to the Supplier confirming the connection and the switch. After the switch, Suppliers should send Invoices exclusively via EDI. Status of the sent Invoice can be checked in VVI at the Supplier Portal.
