Hewlett-Packard Ltd Amen Corner Cain Road Bracknell, UK RG12 1HN www.hp.com Important Information for Invoicing Hewlett Packard: Dear Supplier, Paper invoicing has always been an arduous and cost intensive process for both our Suppliers and HP. Invoices are often lost in transit or routed to incorrect locations delaying payment and reducing the quality of the Accounts Payable Process. To help eliminate these inefficiencies, HP has joined the OB10 electronic invoice delivery network which provides numerous benefits such as: 1. Quicker delivery of Invoices to HP. 2. Verification of transmission success or failure via OB10. 3. Ability to send attachments or backup documents like time sheets, receipts etc with the invoice. 4. Reduced costs vs. paper invoices. 5. No installation of hardware or software required. 6. Data can be submitted in any format to OB10 when using the ‘Integrated’ Solution. 7. As more buyers join the network, cost per invoice further decreases. 8. OB10 network is compliant with the National Tax Legislation. Hewlett Packard suppliers are expected to submit their invoices to HP electronically via the OB10 network. It is an HP Finance policy that invoices will be submitted electronically to HP. As a result, it is critical that you register for the OB10 network to begin electronic submission of invoices upon the formalization of your agreement with HP/receipt of this document from HP. Thank you for your support of this critical initiative. HP appreciates your attention to this matter and expects your next invoice electronically. If you require assistance when registering for OB10, please contact OB10 support directly at 0870 1657430 or by e-mail at [email protected].
