Fortescue has automated invoicing in place and prefers all invoices to be submitted electronically or via email.
Invoices are automatically rejected where a valid purchase order has not been referenced or where the quantity or price exceeds that for which the purchase order authorises.
Fortescue is a member of the SAP Ariba Network, enabling businesses to automate payments which results in faster payments with less overhead costs for both small and large businesses.
