Electronic Invoicing Programme - The OB10 Network

BT is looking at further improvements to its current supplier payment process as part of an ongoing improvement programme. Paper invoicing has always been a laborious and cost intensive process for our suppliers, for BT's Finance & Accounting supplier in the UK (Xansa), and for BT. In order to increase efficiency in the invoicing process, Xansa has joined the OB10 electronic invoice delivery network run by OB10 Limited. The objective is to move a majority of paper invoices in the UK over to the network in the coming months.

BT believes that the move to electronic invoice delivery networks will lead to substantial end to end process improvements, and this includes improvements for you as a supplier to BT. Invoices will be received in the BT accounts payable system when you send them electronically therefore bypassing common problems that hold up payment such as lost, misplaced, incomplete or non-compliant invoices. The network will notify you immediately in the event of any issues and enable problem resolution well before the invoice due date.

BT and OB10 Limited will be contacting suppliers over the coming months to encourage use of the OB10 network in submitting invoices to BT.
