Suppliers who use eInvoicing
Suppliers using MYOB, Quickbooks, Reckon, Xero or many other common business management and accounting software packages can start using eInvoicing with a few simple clicks.
You can identify which of your suppliers are using some of these to generate and send PDF invoices to your email inbox. Targeting these suppliers to let them know you’re ready to receive eInvoices means it's easy for them to switch and may result in some quick wins.
Here are some ways to identify which of your suppliers are using one of these packages.
Identify invoices sent from generic email address
Invoices being sent from the cloud-based version of small business accounting software are often sent from the following generic email addresses:
- AccountRight@apps.myob.com or similar email address for MYOB
- do_not_reply@au.[xxxx].intuit.com or similar for Quickbooks
- accountshosted@reckon.com for Reckon
- messaging-service@post.xero.com or similar for Xero.
Look for the common email templates
MYOB and Xero have email templates that suppliers can populate.
In the following example, note the generic email address at the top and ‘Powered by MYOB’ at the bottom.
Next is an example of a standard invoice email from a Xero user. Note the generic email address at the top.
Similar to the 'Powered by MYOB' text, other software may leave identifying clues such as a logo or their name in a copyright notice.
Check the format of the invoice number
MYOB uses an 8-digit invoice number. For example, 0000001, 0000002, 00000003 and so on.
Xero’s invoice numbers start with the prefix INV- and then a series of numbers.
Suppliers' software
Many of your suppliers may be using software that is easy to start sending eInvoices from. Some software requires a bit more effort to connect to the Peppol network.
If your suppliers do not use software, there are many free or low-cost web portal options. Some of these are listed on the eInvoicing Ready product registerExternal Link.
